This map illustrates satellite-detected flood watersover north Rakhine State, Myanmar, in the areas ofKyauktaw and Ponnagyun and Rathedaungtownships, as imaged by the Radarsat-2 satellite on17 August 2015. Waters along the Kaladan Riverhave expanded and inundated lands on either sidesof the river bank. Total surface area covered withwater in the analysed area has increased from a pre-flood level of 4% to 8% during the flood period, andas of 17 August 2015 a total of ~55,000 ha of landswere affected. Due to sensor limitations, flood waterscould be underestimated in urban areas and areascovered with vegetation. This is a preliminary analysisand has not yet been validated in the field. Pleasesend ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
