What's new – Spill points on flash flood map and depression map

Sep 13, 2024

Our interactive flash flood maps and depression maps now pinpoint spill points of depressions. It offers a clearer understanding of how water may overflow and impact surrounding areas. This feature is accessible for national analysis of all countries, and in any newly recomputed workspace.

To view spill points on depression maps, simply check the 'Spill Points' under the depressions layer on the dock. For flash flood maps, activate the 'Highlight Active Depressions' option in the gear icon menu of flooded areas layer.

A depression map depicts depressions, whose volume is greater than 100m3 and area is greater than 2000 m2, and its spill points.

Flash Flood Map: Blue depressions depicts depressions filled and spilled to another depression. The cyan depression depicts non-filled depression thus it has no spill point.
