  Estimating a wide area high resolution digital elevation model (DEM) over the confluence region of Nigeria from sentinel- 1synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is crucial. This study leveraged geospatial technology to gain critical insights into the region's hydrology, terrain information and characteristics. These components play a crucial role in estimating the surface roughness of terrains for flood control and mitigation efforts, enabling the identification of areas vulnerable to erosion, rapid runoff, potential floodplains and possible drainage basins. The implications of this research are significant because it provides precise data for flood modeling, early warning systems, urban planning, watershed management and different types of possibly agriculturally influenced activities that are viable in the Confluence region. The research captured elevation values ranging from 79.5.. Read More»
