Title
Satellite detected water extents in Punjab Province, Pakistan as of 27 & 28 August 2025
Description
**UNOSAT code: FL20250818PAK, GDACS ID: 1103435** This map illustrates the satellite detected water extent in Punjab Province, Pakistan as observed from a Sentinel-1 satellite image acquired on 27-28 August 2025. Within the analyzed area of approximately 88,300 km², about 3,660 km² of land appears to be affected by floodwaters. Based on WorldPop population data and the flood extent, approximately 2.5 million people are potentially exposed or living close to the flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to the backscattering properties of the radar signal.
