Abstract
FAO-SWALIM has updated the status of the river breakages along the Juba and Shabelle Rivers using available Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Four types of breakages have been identified, namely; Open, Overflow, Canal Flooding Point, and Closed with sandbags. The open breakages are those that are currently open as observed on the latest VHR image available. All the observations reported refers to the latest suitable VHR satellite image available, which is indicated in the online database. 196 Open breakage points have been identified, 170 on the Shabelle River and 26 on the Juba River which require immediate action. 168 Overflows were also identified during this season.
