Groundwater flooding in Ireland

Thanks to Copernicus, flood data can be gathered on a scale that was previously thought unachievable, and provided to the relevant authorities and local communities in a timely manner. Copernicus Sentinel-1 data have been used to image groundwater flooding (shown in black) in County Galway, Ireland in 2016. This is one example in a new publication that collects 99 stories from European public authorities.
