- In this video, we explore the powerful capabilities of Google Earth Engine and Sentinel SAR dataset for flood mapping and assessment. Using remote sensing data and advanced techniques, we demonstrate how to quickly and accurately identify flooded areas, estimate flood extent and analyze flood dynamics over time.
We begin by introducing the basics of Sentinel SAR data and Google Earth Engine, and then move on to applying these tools for flood mapping and assessment. We showcase several examples of how these techniques have been used in real-world scenarios, such as during natural disasters and for environmental monitoring.
Our step-by-step guide will help you to gain a deeper understanding of how to use Google Earth Engine and Sentinel SAR data to analyze and visualize flood patterns. We also discuss the importance of accurate flood mapping and how it can help to mitigate the impact of floods on local communities.
Whether you are a researcher, student or someone interested in learning more about flood mapping and assessment, this video is a must-watch. Join us on this journey as we uncover the potential of Google Earth Engine and Sentinel SAR data for flood analysis.

Wonderful Sir, this video helped me a lot for my class report on "Impact of Flood and their mitigation strategies in Sindh " thank you Sir for your guidelines..... i really appreciate it....
All the best
@@createbytesir i have to do research on the topic (pre and post flood water quality analysis in sindh ) so plz sir can u guide me
Thank you for sharing this code but I got an error about "RefinedLee is not defined" and couldn't able to figure out how you did define this function. Can you help me please or any guys who have solved this issue?
I have a issues which "toDB is not defined" . Please let me know what is this issue?
i think the barren lands are classified as water bodies..... Just a tweak. Good Work
Well presented. Thank you so much.
Can I ask a question here mate, am sure you'all have encountered an issue where you have to clip a DEM file for a small area it shows pixels, just pixels, can this be Improved like using GEE to have the exact scale for proper representation of the map?
Sir, what the name of methodh that you use, change detection or something else?
Hello sir, thanks for the video. I wanna ask you how to determine the min max value?
Thank you for the video and the code sir, I appreciate it
toDB function is not working in my code editor
mine showing zero size and boundary is not adding in the layer
what can i do
how can access to all codes?
Which code can we use to output the final map result. please can you reply below. Thank you
map.layer and then include the layer you want add
Good say sir, please i stuck 😢.
My good state size is printing as zero, what do i do?
Please I would appreciate getting a response as soon as possible
Is your issue fixed ?
code
thanks for your kind sharing bro, How can get other countries feature boundaries?
Yes . Just search for your country boundary shape files
Thank you so much. Would you please share the code?
Good morning Sir thanks for this kind explanation. Please can you share script with us?
Will upload soon
Is it possible to calculate total flood area of Pakistan?
yes
i'm getting same value of in inspector of good and flood filter its all same as you
The code says toDB is not defined.
Check the comments section and description
I have pinned the toDB function there
You can simply copy paste that into your editor
But this code shows a lot of water bodies on the eastern side, which we all know is a huge desert. I think its mixing sand with water.
Asslamualikum Sir. Thanks for This video, Can you share the flood report ! i need it
pdma.gos.pk/flood-2022-in-sindh/
Download the pdf from here brother
can i get coding?
It is Nice
could you send me code of this anaysis
Even if I share you the code
It wont run because you wont have the imported assets , which are non shareable at the moment by Earth engine
flood water should be more than simple water. but in this analysis simple water is more. why?
bang bagi codingnya bang
Non-satisfied your answer, we want to see ce script, otherwise no explanation is required
Will surely try to work on that in upcoming videos
