Climate-Resilient Flood Management in South Sudan through Earth Observation Insights

Earth observation (EO) data has been used to map flooding and precipitation trends in South Sudan, a country prone to flood risk and hydrological variability. In a strategic partnership with the World Bank, the European Space Agency (ESA) Global Development Assistance (GDA) Agile EO Information Development (AID) Climate Resilience Consortium leveraged Sentinel-1 high-resolution radar imagery to accurately track the extent, frequency, and duration of flooding in the country and create a comprehensive map of flood hazards.
