      <title>Satellite detected water extents between 03 and 23 August 2022 over Pakistan</title>
      <description>This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in Pakistan between 03 to 23 August 2022. Within the cloud free analyzed areas of about 780,000 km2, a total of about 55,000 km2 of lands appear to be affected with flood waters. Based on Worldpop population data and the maximum flood water coverage, ~19,368,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to 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).</description>

      <title>Satellite detected water extent in Sindh province, Pakistan, as of 15 August 2022</title>
      <description>This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Sindh province, Pakistan as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 15 August 2022 at 18:36 local time. Within the analyzed area of about 30,000 km2, about 1,550 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Water extent appears to have decreased of about 325 km2 since the 06 August 2022. within the analyzed area. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters in the analyzed area, about 410,000 are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas.This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to 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 backscattering properties of the radar signal.</description>

      <title>Satellite detected water extents between 01 and 29 August 2022 over Pakistan</title>
      <description>This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in Pakistan between 01 to 29 August 2022. Within the analyzed area of about 793,000 km2, a total of about 75,000 km2 of lands appear to be affected with flood waters amongst which 48,530 km2 are flooded croplands. Based on Worldpop population data and the maximum flood water coverage, at least 22 million people were potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas in August 2022.This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
