Summary:

Scientists at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center created these water extents on May 5, 20224 using PlanetScope imagery. These images can be used to see where open water is visible at the time of the satellite overpass. This product shows all water detected and differentiates between normal water areas and some flooded areas. This product was classified using WorldCover.

It's important to note that all flooded areas may not be captured do to the sensors limitations of not being able to "see" through vegetation and buildings. To determine where additional flooding may have occurred, combine this layer with other data sets.

Suggested Use:

This product shows water that is detected by the sensor with different colors indicating different land cover/land use classifications from WorldCover that appear to have water and are potentially flooded.

Blue (1): Known Water

Red (2): Flooded Developed

Green (3): Flooded Vegetation

Orange (4): Flooded Cropland/Grassland

Gray (5): Clouds/Cloud Shadow

(0): No Data
