UN Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT)**UNOSAT code: FL20190905LAO** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface water in southern provinces of Lao PDR as observed from Sentinel-1 imagery acquired on 6 September 2019. Within the analysed extent of about 60,000 km2, a total about 1,000 km2 of land appear to be flooded as of 6 September 2019. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT. Important Note: Flood analysis from Sentinel-1 imagery acquired on 6 September 2019 may seriously underestimate presence of standing flood water in built up areas due to backscattering of the radar signalwaters-extents-as-of-6-september-2019-over-southern-provinces-of-lao-pdrHumanitarian Data ExchangePublicSatellite detected waters extents, as of 6 September 2019 over southern provinces of Lao PDRDatasetsLao People's Democratic Republic2019-09-09
