Satellite data was acquired during

the floods of 1998-2007. Flood
Inundation was extracted from

26°30'0"N
26°30'0"N

these satellite datasets. These

layers were integrated to generate
a flood hazard layer, which
provides the details on how

26°25'0"N

frequently a given area is subjected

to floods. About 90 satellite datasets
NOWGONG DISTRICT were used for creating this layer.

The frequency of inundation

observed is further classified into
different categories based on the
