Pre-crisis background satelliteimage: QuickBird-2 (8/9/2006)
This map illustrates probable standing floodwaters along the
eastern bank of the Prut Rivernear the town of Nemteni, Nisporeni
and HincestiDistricts in the Republic of Moldova, as detectedin
MODIS satellite imagery recorded on 3 and 14July 2010. Four
towns/villages (includingNemteni) have been identified as likely
directlyaffected by the flooding; one village appears to bealmost
completely encircled by flood waterswithout functional road
access.
Flood waters have concentrated on extensivelycultivated fields
in the area and could also be
affecting the dense vegetation (tree) cover alongthe banks of
the Prut River. The Irrigation canalimmediately north of route E58
appears to becontaining the flood waters, preventing flowfurther
south. Archival Quickbird imagery hasbeen used to illustrate the
normal, pre-flood riverextent and course.
Please note that the exact limit of the flood watersis uncertain
(approximately 200-500m) becauseof the relatively low spatial
resolution of thesatellite sensors used for this analysis;
thisuncertainty has been symbolized in the map withincreasingly
lighter shades of blue. This floodassessment is a preliminary
analysis & has notyet been validated in the field. Please
sendground feedback to UNITAR / UNOSAT.
