With floods and droughts as two of the most catastrophic natural disasters in the regions it serves, SERVIR strives to be on the cutting edge in addressing challenges related to water.
This flood monitoring service utilizes Google Earth Engine and the available LandSAT and SENTINEL data collections, spanning from 2014 to the present date, to determine water surface areas within specific date ranges.
The SERVIR program, launched in 2005, connects NASA, U.S. researchers, a network of development partners around the world, and companies like Google to harness the power of satellite observations — helping countries see, with greater clarity, how their environments affect well-being and safety.
