This map illustrates satellite detected flood water over
the affected district of Larkana, Sindh Province, Pakistan (depicted in
blue). Village site locations within 500m of detected flood water are marked
in red, while those more than 500m are marked in green. This analysis was
made using ALOS-PALSAR and Radarsat data recorded respectively on 26 June
& 5 July 2007. Additional pre-disaster ENVISAT radar data from 25 April
1999 was used in this analysis. This flood detection is a preliminary analysis
and has not yet been validated in the field. This map was produced through
a joint collaboration among UNOSAT, WFP and ITHACA.
