Flood Waters in the Affected Provinces of Yacuma and Mamore, Beni, Bolivia (as of 7 Feb 2008)

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 real values could be considerably higher.

This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters over the affected Departments of Beni and Santa Cruz. Bolivia. Flood water analysis was conducted by change detection with ENVISAT-ASAR (WSM) radar scenes (150m) recorded on 12 Dec. 2005 and 3 February 2008. Data was collected by ESA in support of the Space Charter. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
