Sequence of images showing lingering flood water


Title: Sequence of images showing lingering flood water

Description: Although the 2022 Pakistan floods peaked in August and September, flood waters lingered several months later. This sequence of SkySat images shows Sehwan Sharif Airport.

The first image from October 2020 shows the airport surrounded by pale agricultural fields. On 24 September 2022, it was completely covered by green water, while on 26 October 2022, elevated areas, such as an access road and runway, are beginning to emerge from the floodwater.
