Wetland map of Uganda

Map showing the wetlands of Uganda overlaid on GoogleEarth images. Dark blue shows permanent water bodies while temporary water is visible in light blue. Dark and light green areas depict wetland areas which are permanently and seasonally wet, respectively. The map has been produced using a hybrid sensor approach that combines optical and radar observations using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 missions, as well as data from the US Landsat mission, from 2016-17. The maps can be used to accurately monitor the dynamics of water and wetland areas in Uganda.
