Belgium endured a fourth day of heavy rain, with flooding reported in several areas acrossthe country.After widespread flooding hit northern Antwerp and the west of Flanders early in the week,waters kept rising in eastern areas around Limburg and Liege.

No deaths or injuries have been reported so far in Belgium. More rain isexpected later (Associated press).The present map shows the f lood delineation in the area of Hasselt (BELGIUM). Thethematic layer has been derived from post-event satellite image using a semi-automaticapproach. The estimated geometric accuracy is 10 m CE90 or better, from native positionalaccuracy of the background satellite image.
