Mumbai · Published Oct 20, 2026
• Discover how advanced machine learning and remote sensing technologies are revolutionising urban flood mapping, with a focus on Mumbai's flood-prone areas.

The Role of Multi-Sensor Remote Sensing

The study utilised cutting-edge tools like Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR), Sentinel-2 optical imagery, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation data, and Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS). These tools provide detailed information on terrain, elevation, rainfall, and drainage characteristics, which are crucial for understanding flood dynamics in urban areas.
