The dataset consists of the flooding extent March 2022 flood in NSW. It utilises inundation data from Copernicus EMS (Radar), Sentinel-2 optical, VIIRS Satellite, high resolution models of flooding from Australian Climate Service in selected locations, and NSW’s Impact Assessments (provided by EICU). The workflow removes rivers/lakes/dams and other known permanent water bodies to only show the flooding boundaries.

The dataset shows approximate extent of the flood which may or may not cover the peak of the flood.
