This map illustrates satellite-detected flood
waters over the affected Departments of Beni & Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Flood water analysis was conducted by change detection with ENVISAT-ASAR
(WSM) radar scenes (150m) recorded on 12 Dec. 2005 & 3 February 2008.
Data was collected by ESA in support of the Space Charter. This is a preliminary
analysis & has not yet been validated in the field.
NOTE: Because of incomplete satellite coverage,
the estimated areas flooded in km2 represent only partial values for the
provinces listed; therefore it is possible that the real values could be
considerably higher.
