This map presents a satellite-based water and damage assessment for the affected towns and villages along the flooded Jianjiang River valley, resulting from the earthquake-created lake and landslides. This assessment has been made with FORMOSAT-2 satellite imagery acquired from 3 to 8 June 2008 at a spatial resolution of 2m. Pre-disaster imagery recorded on 14 May 2006 was also used. This is an initial damage assessment & has not yet been validated in the field. Map scale for A3: 1:60,000; Projection : UTM, Zone 48 North; Datum :WGS 1984.
- Water levels are visibly rising from 5 to 8 June;
- Some water movement through new drainage channel;
- Two villages are submerged under the lake;
-8 pedestrian bridges and 3 main bridges are destroyed;
- Approximately 17km of road along the Jianjiang River is
submerged under water or destroyed by landslides;
- A significant threat exists from a lake-borne tsunami, generated by new landslides into Tangjiashan lake.
