This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters and impact in Sylhet and Sunamganj Districts, Sylhet Division, Bangladesh as observed from a RCM-1 image acquired on 18 Jun 2022 at 17:54 local time.
Within the analyzed area of about 1,325 km2, about 840 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. In this area, about 140 km of roads and 1 km of railway appear to be likely affected by the flood waters. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 839,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.
