Southern Pakistan Flooding
January 29, 2012 | Earth Observatory

“Nearly five months after severe flooding struck the region, in September 2011, parts of Pakistan’s Sindh Province remained flooded. In January 2012, patches of standing water occur east of the Indus River. The Rann of Kachchh, a salt marsh, holds far more water than in 2010. Water is, however, receding from flooded areas and shows improvement over previous months.” Quoted from the Earth Observatory website.
