degree of confidence; and Blue areas represent pre-flood water levels in July-November 2007. Estimates for flooded areas per constituency have been calculated in km2. Flood analysis was made using
ENVISAT-ASAR data (WSM) recorded on 19 March 2008.This flood detection is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field.
