This map illustrates satellite detected possible flood
water & saturated soil over Al Jazeera Area, in Al
Jazeera State, extracted from Radarsat-2 imagery
(12 m) acquired on 18 August 2016. According to
satellite derived analysis some areas within Al
Jazeera State seem to be flooded. Possible flooded
agricultural areas and saturated soils are particularly
visible over Eastern Al Jazeera Locality. The exact
limit of flood waters is uncertain because of the low
spatial resolution of the satellite data used for this
analysis. Detected water bodies likely reflect an
underestimation of all flood-affected areas within the
map extent. This analysis has not yet been validated
in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR
- UNOSAT.
