On 3rd August 2007, the RADARSAT Satellite was programmed on request of CEGIS to acquire an image to map flood extent. The image was processed in Near-Real Time mode. It was placed in the ftp site just after acquisition and CEGIS downloaded the image immediately and classified it into two categories: “open water flood extent” and “others”. The flood map was produced within 48 hours of image acquisition.

Figure below shows the open water flood extent of 3rd August 2007. The area of open water flood extent that was derived from the satellite image is about 44,000 sq.km. Districtwise open water flood extent map is available on request.
