THE PROBLEM
• Floods – primary natural disasters
• Precipitation intensity and variability is projected to increase – increasing risks of flooding globally and in Asia
• Global economic losses from natural disasters - over $165 billion annually – More than current aid flow – Floods take the lion share of this
• May rise to over $450 bill by 2030

FLOODS: GOOD AND BAD
Floods costs and benefits:
• Costs = loss of life; disruption to livelihoods, disruption of transport, damage to infrastructure, loss of crops
• Benefits = fisheries, soil fertilization, g/w recharge, soil
moisture and ecology
• Spatial distribution of costs and benefits is very uneven
In the LMB: annual costs of flooding = US$ 60-70 million annual benefits of floods = US$ 8-10 billion

CATASTROPHIC FLOODS IN ASIA: 1900-2011
• Collated from 6 global sources• >4000 floods globally• Around 35% - in Asia

IDENTIFYING FLOOD HOTSPOTS• 100 km grid over the globe; • numbers of floods in each cell over 1900-2011

CHARACHERIZING FLOOD HOTSPOTS
• Globally - 90 grid cells with catastrophic flood occurrence ≥ 5;
• 60% of these cells -in Asia
• Estimated total over these hotspots:– annual economic loss due to floods - $20bn – 30 million affected people– 500,000 km2 of affected croplands

FLOOD INUNDATION MAPPING ALGORITHM
• MODIS surface reflectance • Global• Temporal resolution : 8 days• Spatial resolution – 500 m • Period : 2000 – 2011• Indices : EVI, NDWI, LSWI, NDSI• DVEL (EVI-LSWI) was used to
discriminate between Water pixels and Non–water pixels. If the smoothed DVEL is less than 0.05 pixel is assumed to be a Water pixel;
• Several procedure further differentiate between permanent water bodies and temporary Flood pixels
• Applied in South Asia • Being applied in South East Asia

SUMMARY• Global flood hot spots identified and characterized in terms of economic
and human losses
• Several spatial products quantifying flood inundation pattern in South Asia with a resolution of 500 m and 8 days available
• Demonstrated how remote sensing data and Smart-ICT can help farmers for effective management of land and water resources in Gash Delta
• Potential uses - flood water harvesting and flood-based farming, insurance, estimation of GHGs emissions from temporary flooded areas
