This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters over the affected urban extent of Trinidad, the department capital of Beni, Bolivia. Flood water analysis was conducted with a single TerraSAR-X radar scene recorded on 14 February 2008. Additionally, RADARSAT-1 satellite data recorded on 8 February 2008 and 5 April 2001 was also used. This is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field.
