    UNOSAT code: FL20211213BRA This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Alcobaca, Prado and Itamaraju municipalities, State of Bahia, Brazil as observed from Sentinel-2 image acquired on 11 Dec. 2021 & Sentinel-1 image acquired on 09 Dec. 2021. Within the analyzed area of about 300,000 ha, about 13,500 ha of lands appear to be flooded. Along the Jucuruçu river, mainly agricultural lands appear to be flooded. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the 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.
