An area was then computed for the potential sites and their distance from the flood extent established. The output was then post – processed to remove invalid geometries and each site was ranked based on the distance from the flood prone area. Sites that are closer in distance were deemed to be most suitable hence a higher rank. The final layer was then visually checked based on the density of the topographic Wetness Index (TWI) which is based on runoffs during floods.

The purpose of Agro-ecological zoning is to give an inventory and overview of the physical agricultural potential of an area.Agro-ecological zones for Somalia have been defined and mapped through a combination of information on soils, landform and climate. Information on soils and landform was mainly derived from the Soil and Terrain (SOTER) Database for\r\nnortheastern Africa (FAO, 1998), updated with recent information from the\r\nSWALIM study areas. Available data on rainfall and potential evapotranspiration (FAOCLIM, 2001) has been used to define Length of Growing Period Zones (LGP Zones), as described in the following sections.

Open breakages might have been omitted in some cases where satellite images may not have been very clear (e.g. heavy cloud cover) or were not available.  For questions or further clarifications related to the reports, you can contact us by sending an email to SWALIM@fao.org. featuresriver_breakage_shabell_aug_2025urn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:432644.12800000000004 1.55100000000004545.67867000000007 4.892940000000067https://spatial.faoswalim.org/catalogue/csw?request=GetRecordById&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&id=10fab4c6-9d9f-442a-a9c8-03aa8e5ca904&outputschema=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fcat%2Fcsw%2Fcsdgm&elementsetname=fullgeonode:dollow_potentialsuitablehigherground_evacuatiDatasets used for the analysis are :- Flood Extent, Elevation, Slope, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI),Drainage Density, Strategic Boreholes, Settlements, Land Cover and Roads\r\nBased on a predefined criteria, each of these datasets were first clipped to areas outside the flood extent but within a maximum distance of 10 Km from the flood extent boundary.

The main objective of the study was to improve water supply availability by identifying sustainable groundwater resources through evaluation of existing hydrogeological data and remote sensing applications. Groundwater is the sole water source for much of the region, apart from the Juba River. Methodology Summary The study compiled and analysed geological, geophysical, hydrological, and hydrogeological information from previous surveys, SWIMS database, and NGO reports. Remote sensing analysis of LANDSAT imagery was used to assess geomorphology, hydrography, fault patterns, and lithostratigraphic boundaries. GIS tools supported aquifer classification, groundwater flow modelling, hydrochemistry evaluation, and map production. Key activities included: Classification of aquifers and aquicludes, evaluation of recharge, flow directions, and discharge. Hydrochemistry assessment and review of water quality data. Development of a regional hydrogeological map at 1:500,000 scale showing aquifer systems, groundwater flow, major water points, and hydrographic networks. Selection and detailed mapping of three Areas of Interest (AoIs) at 1:200,000 scale, including groundwater resource assessment and water demand estimation. Identification of priority zones for groundwater exploration and drilling. Proposal for an initial groundwater monitoring network and recommendations for sustainable water use.

These controlled irrigation systems consisting of barrages, canals and other infrastructure, were constructed in the middle and lower reaches of both rivers. The canal system comprised primary and secondary canals, and numerous tertiary canals, with water flow controlled by barrages or weirs. Pumped irrigation systems also existed, especially along the Juba river where large pumps were used to take water from the river to other network of canals. Before the collapse of the government, the Somali Ministry of Agriculture estimated that 112,950ha was under controlled irrigation, while 110,000ha was under flood recession irrigation (cultivation along the edge of rivers or other water bodies using water from receding floods), giving a total irrigated area in the country of 222,950ha.

The final map has been aggregated into few manageable land cover classes. Among the striking features of the map are the areas that were once cropped and now remain abandoned.featureslandcover_riverine_2007urn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:432641.28020095800008 -0.51021897299995146.150032544000055 5.060045358000025https://spatial.faoswalim.org/catalogue/csw?request=GetRecordById&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&id=75ac5faf-72f7-40ed-bcfe-3c748269593f&outputschema=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fcat%2Fcsw%2Fcsdgm&elementsetname=fullgeonode:som_landsat8_imageindex_granuleImage Index:it contains feature classes that contain information about the path/row, scene boundaries and the geographic coordinates of the imageries acquired by satellites for Somalia.

The outputs were then reclassified into two classes namely; Suitable and Not Suitable. Using an iterative approach, each of these datasets was used to assign a weight to the suitability of a site. These weights are indicated on table 2 below. Thereafter, a multi-criteria evaluation weighted overlay operation was undertaken to determine the potential areas for evacuation sites. An area was then computed for the potential sites and their distance from the flood extent established. \r\nThe output was then post – processed to remove invalid geometries and each site was ranked based on the distance from the flood prone area. Sites that are closer in distance were deemed to be most suitable hence a higher rank. The final layer was then visually checked based on the density of the topographic Wetness Index (TWI) which is based on runoffs during floods.

More recently, a survey was carried in Januray 2017 together with the Somaliland Ministry of Environment and Rural Development to map out the extent of the spread of Proposis in Somaliland. Five areas of interest were selected covering the main landform units of Somaliland that include flat lying areas, plateaus, hills, mountain ranges and coastal areas. The climate of these landscapes vary from desert (annual rainfall of 100mm and temperature of 28-35 oC) in the coastal areas to semi humid (annual rainfall of 500 - 600 mm annual rainfall and temperature of 20-22 °C) in the mountain ranges.\r\nThe survey observed that despite the extremely dry condition; Prosopis plants were exceptionally green and resistant to drought and were often flowering and with pods in most of the areas. Prosopis was found growing as trees or shrubs and also forms pure stand of forest thickets in the invaded rangelands and cropland. It was also scattered as shrubs in stony or gravelly surfaces inter growing with cactus. In the wetter alluvial deposits flanking the watercourses in the northern escarpment of the Golis Mountain, it was found to form very dense impenetrable thickets.featuressom_landcover_prosopispoints_ne_faoswalim2017urn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:432643.19238888900003 9.36438888900005445.76041666700007 10.432416667000041https://spatial.faoswalim.org/catalogue/csw?request=GetRecordById&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&id=2fdfbd16-cec4-4e08-91c7-1bc8f1ab5167&outputschema=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fcat%2Fcsw%2Fcsdgm&elementsetname=fullgeonode:som_landcover_oasisfarms_faoswalimOasis farming is very common in the northern part of Somalia.

USGS EROS Data Center provided with ASTER satellite imagery of 15m resolution , acquired mainly in 2013. The average visual interpretation scale is 1:50,000. The joint Research Center(JRC) of the European Commission provided with additional additional LANDSAT ETM (2009-2011) satellite images and contributed to the definition and accuracy assessment of the methodology . LANDSAT imagery complemented the baseline images in areas where either cloud cover was present on ASTER images or when gaps occurred. Very high resolution satellite images were used to refine the interpretation of cultivable areas and to verify/validate the natural vegetation cover. \r\nStandardized FAO Land Cover Meta Language (LCML) methodology was utilized to create the legend for the analysis.

River floods occur along the Juba and Shabelle rivers in Southern Somalia, whereas flash floods are common along the intermittent streams in the northern part of the country.in the recent past, the country has experienced an increasing severity and frequency of floods. The historically most recent severe floods were those of the Deyr in 1961, 1977, 1997, and 2006, and the floods of the Gu in 1981 and 2005. These floods resulted in human casualties and major economic damage.Whereas flash floods in Somalia result from localised rains, river flooding along the Juba and Shabelle rivers are primarily due to drainage from catchment areas located in the Ethiopian highlands, which normally experience heavier and more frequent rainfall than what occurs in Somalia.som_flood_prone_areas_faoswalim2018somaliashabelle2018featuresproneriverjubaurn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:432642.07852136900004 -0.10508647099993645.742361206000055 5.011309427000072https://geonode.faoswalim.org/catalogue/csw?request=GetRecordById&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&id=df4e724e-91ad-4ee2-8803-8cc5e3ddd286&outputschema=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fcat%2Fcsw%2Fcsdgm&elementsetname=fullgeonode:harbors_unsosThe source of this data is United Nations Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS)featuresharbors_unsosurn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:432642.54626100000007 -0.36028999999996449.81773000000004 11.283660000000054https://spatial.faoswalim.org/catalogue/csw?request=GetRecordById&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&id=f875ebc3-889b-4d37-b6b8-aaddc48b2b93&outputschema=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fcat%2Fcsw%2Fcsdgm&elementsetname=fullgeonode:harmonised_settlement_14112022OCHA Somalia Harmonised settlement 14 11 2022somaliapopulationharmonised_settlement_14112022featuressettlementsurn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:432640.99208 -1.6375451.28266 11.96039https://geonode.faoswalim.org/catalogue/csw?request=GetRecordById&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&id=7a46ec1f-7ae8-49b1-bbfa-700ffc450869&outputschema=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fcat%2Fcsw%2Fcsdgm&elementsetname=fullgeonode:hydromet_stations_july_2021There are only two perennial rivers in Somalia; the Juba and the Shabelle. Due to the arid and semi-arid nature of the northern parts of the country, the rivers are dry and flashy with water flowing for few hours and there are no river gauging stations in these rivers. Before 1991, the Ministry of Agriculture was mandated to operate the river flow and climate gauging stations. However, the network collapsed following the break of civil war in the early nineties. No data was collected between 1991 and 2001/2. SWALIM re-established the network in 2001/2 and by installing new stations in some areas and the network has continued to expend progressively. Out of the 14 river gauging stations that were operational before the war only eight stations are currently operational; four on the Shabelle and four on the Juba. The climate monitoring network has over 100 stations across Somalia. FAO SWALIM has partnered with the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources (MOEWR) and Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) in river and climate data collection respectively.

This had been made possible with the use of World View Very High-Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery provided by Digital Globe. Due to lower temporal resolution of images present in Digital Globe archive, Pleiades Images provided by Airbus supplemented the image gaps in some areas. Where possible the preliminary findings from the images were verified with field observations to confirm the status of river breakages. In this case, the field river breakages surveys were carried out in Belet Weyne, Jowhar, Balcad and Afgooye districts all along the Shabelle River. In other cases, breakages which had been verified on VHR in March 2021 and there was either cloudy images or no images at all in the current assessment have been marked as ‘Not verified’.\r\n\r\nAlong the Juba River, 32 open points, 6 overflows and another 123 potential breakages and 75 potential overflows were identified. Further, 103 open points, 106 overflows and 103 potential breakages and 322 potential overflows were identified along the Shabelle River.\r\n\r\nIt has been observed that the number of points either open or overflows has been increasing over the years probably due to the continuous weakening of the river banks following three years of successive heavy floods in 2018, 2019 and 2020. These points need immediate closure or reinforcement before the 2021 Deyr rainy season which is expected to start in Mid-October 2021.2021riversomaliashabellefeaturesjubariver_juba_shabelle_breakage_aug2021_26082021breakgesurn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:432642.0680900799999 -0.0709745.6786699999999 4.89294https://spatial.faoswalim.org/catalogue/csw?request=GetRecordById&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&id=a9aea4ca-9a6d-42a1-b333-20872e6118f9&outputschema=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fcat%2Fcsw%2Fcsdgm&elementsetname=fullgeonode:shabelle_juba_river_breakages_feb2017A total of 37 Open points were identified, 19 along Juba River and 18 along Shabelle River.

The river levels in the upper sections are currently at their historical minimum, while the mid and lower sections of the Shabelle River having run dry. With no rains expected in February and most of March, the river flow will continue to decline. The reduced river flow along the two rivers has negatively impacted agriculture production, domestic and livestock water use. This has also led to an increase of new river breakages as the riverine communities attempt to extract the limited resource to support livelihood activities.\r\n\r\nSWALIM has completed analysis and mapping of the river breakages along the two rivers using very high resolution satellite images acquired thanks to the kind contribution of the Embassy of France. The study has identified 101 open points along the Shabelle, out of which 24 points are new and the rest have remained open since the last survey in August 2021. Along the Juba River, 35 open points were identified out of which 5 are new points. During this drought period, it is expected that the riverine communities will continue to extract water from the rivers by breaching the banks and this will only see an increase of the open river bank points.\r\n\r\nSeveral other weak points which are not necessarily open but have the potential to overflow or break were identified during the analysis.

The data was collected between 2024–2025 using remote mapping and validation workflows based on high-resolution satellite imagery and OpenStreetMap (OSM) standards. Features were digitized as polygons and attributed with water source type, shape, and descriptive characteristics to support water availability assessment, drought preparedness, and early warning analysis. The finalized dataset has been quality-controlled and integrated into FAO’s early warning and decision-support systems and is made available for humanitarian and development partners to support drought response, water resource planning, and resilience programming across Somalia. Data Access and Updates This dataset is maintained within the OpenStreetMap (OSM) ecosystem and may be updated over time through ongoing OSM community contributions. The data can be accessed through any platform or application that supports OpenStreetMap data, including desktop GIS software such as QGIS and OSM query services such as Overpass Turbo (https://overpass-turbo.eu/). The surface water sources can be queried and extracted using standard OSM tags, including: natural=reservoir water=reservoir Additional feature classification can be derived from associated attributes indicating water source type (Berkad, Haffir, Natural Pond) and geometry.featuresreservoirsurn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:4326-180.0 -90.0180.0 90.0http://localhost:8000/catalogue/csw?request=GetRecordById&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&id=7499575b-fd7d-4502-bcf5-d2812431d8b0&outputschema=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fcat%2Fcsw%2Fcsdgm&elementsetname=fullhttps://spatial.faoswalim.org/catalogue/csw?request=GetRecordById&service=CSW&version=2.0.2&id=7499575b-fd7d-4502-bcf5-d2812431d8b0&outputschema=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opengis.net%2Fcat%2Fcsw%2Fcsdgm&elementsetname=fullgeonode:som_topomapsindexThe Topographic Maps are from varying sources and dates, but the legends are very similar and the index numbers have remained the same. Scanned legends can be found in the same folder as the topomaps in jpeg format. All versions have been supplied. Scale is 1:100,000 and contour interval is 20 metres. Maps have been scanned and georeferenced to Geographic WGS84. Supplied to SWALIM by UNDP Somalia and RCMRD (Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development). 'British Maps' These were produced by stereo photography using aerial photography in the early 1970's. Originally printed by Bureau of Cartography, Ministry of Defense, Somalia Democratic Republic in the late 1970's. Reprinted by Canadian Forces Mapping and Charting Establishment from reprographic material of native Somalia mapping by the British Director General of Military Survey. Revisions were made by the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Centre, Bethesda, MD, in cooperation with the Canadian Canadian Forces Mapping and Charting Establishment in the early 1990's. 'Russian Maps' are also included but no information is provided in the metadata as there is no translation available at present. They are in the minority in the SWALIM archive and have only been included where there are gaps in the British/Canadian maps.

The analysis integrates soil, climate, and topographic parameters using a parametric land suitability evaluation framework based on FAO guidelines. Suitability classes include S2 (moderately suitable), S3 (marginally suitable), N1 (temporarily unsuitable), and N2 (permanently unsuitable). Methodology The suitability analysis was conducted using a parametric land evaluation approach following FAO (1976) and Sys et al. (1991). Land suitability was determined by matching crop requirements with soil, climate, and terrain characteristics. A national soil database was developed by integrating: Existing Somalia soil map (250,000 scale) SoilGrids global soil data (250 m resolution, machine learning-based) Climate data (temperature and rainfall) Length of Growing Period (LGP) Digital Elevation Model (SRTM 30 m) for slope, elevation, and aspect Each land unit was characterized using key parameters including soil texture, pH, salinity, organic carbon, rooting depth, slope, rainfall, and temperature. A matching table approach was applied, where each parameter was: Classified into suitability levels (S1–N2) Assigned numerical ratings (0–100) Weighted and combined to produce a final suitability index The final suitability classes were derived as: S2: Moderately suitable S3: Marginally suitable N1: Temporarily unsuitable N2: Permanently unsuitable The analysis assumes irrigation availability and does not explicitly account for water resource constraints.
