Lake Manchar is overflowing Pakistan’s largest freshwater lake overflowed in early September 2022 as devastating floods hit the Indus River Valley. Lake Manchar has had several breaches, both natural and artificial, with the latter made by officials attempting to keep the lake from overflowing catastrophically into densely populated areas. The breaches have put several hundred villages and more than 100,000 residents in the path of floodwaters. Drenched by extreme summer monsoon rains, Pakistan has faced its worst flooding in a decade. According to the country’s National Disaster Management Authority, more than 1,300 people have died and thousands more have been injured. Hundreds of thousands more have been displaced by the extreme flooding that has destroyed more than 1 million homes. 📸 Photos by the Operational Land Imagers aboard Landsat 9 on June 25 and August 28, 2022, and aboard Landsat 8 on September 5, 2022. #Pakistan #LakeManchar #EarthFromSpace #Landsat Image description: Lake Manchar stands out in the image as a blue-green, L-shaped lake surrounded by light brown land.
