For the urban and peri-urban area of Dakar, two main flood scenarios have to be considered:
a. Fluvial floods
b. Floods triggered by rainfall stagnation after heavy local cloudbursts
Scenario a.) and b.) may occur at the same time.
The shapefile includes 6 extents of floods between 2009 and 2018 based on HR optical imagery and 7 extents of floods based on visual interpretation of VHR data as available in GoogleEarth.
