SATELLITE ASSESSMENT CLASSIFICATION:

Probable Flood Watersas on 24 and 29 July 2010

.....

This map illustrates probable standing flood

waters along the Prut River at the Border of the

Republic of Moldova and Romania. This flood

analysis is based on MODIS terra satellite

imagery recorded on 24 and 29 July 2010. Areas

of potential / probable floodwater have been

identified and marked in the overview map in red.

Overall the flooding appears to be relatively

contained along the southern section of the Prut

River, with smaller potentially flooded/flood-

affected areas in the north of the Republic of

Moldova. There is suspected bridge damage

along an international border crossing west of the

city of Cahul, Moldova. The two international

bridges linking Romania with the Moldovan city of

Giurgiulesti appear intact and fully operational.

This map product shows an overveiw of flooding

along the Prut river in two overlapping map

subsets. The scale for both frames is 1 : 600.000

and the left frame is rotated clockwise 28. In the

right side of the map previous UNOSAT analysis

extents are indicated with a box.

This analysis has certain limitations because of

the relatively low resolution of the satellite

imagery. This flood assessment is a preliminary

analysis & has not yet been validated in the field.

Please send ground feedback to UNITAR /

UNOSAT.
