摘要: ABSTRACTThe state of Jammu and Kashmir in North India experienced one the worst floods past 60 years, during first week September 2014. In present study, multi-temporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite images acquired from Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) RISAT-1 Canadian Radarsat-2 peak flood period (08th–23rd 2014) are used for extraction disaster footprints, mapping spatial temporal dynamics inundation assessing impact. With aid pre- post-flood images, coupled with hydro-meteorological data, unprecedented situation is analyzed. It estimated that about 557 km2 Valley's geographical area was inundated. Bandipora, Pulwama, Srinagar, Baramulla Budgam were affected districts, having more than 50 their by waters. Of total inundated area, 80% under agricultural activity submerged, fo...
