ICIMOD Koshi Basin Programme (KBP) can now rapidly produce ‘flood inundation map’ to speed up response to flooding in the Koshi River basin areas. The map uses L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar-2 (PALSAR-2) images from Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). This information is already being used by disaster response agencies including the Disaster Management Department, Government of Bihar in India.
