Pakistan Flood Impact on Population and Cropland, August 2025

An estimated 5,949,956 people and 892,075 hectares of cropland were affected by a flood in Pakistan on August 29, 2025. The dataset is provided by the World Food Programme's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system for geospatial analysis following sudden-onset emergencies. It was last updated on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Estimate population displacement and humanitarian needs based on the affected population count.
• Assess agricultural damage and food security implications based on the affected cropland area.
• Map the geographic extent of flood impact for targeted response planning based on the geospatial nature of the data.
• Model disaster risk and recovery timelines based on the event date and impact metrics.

Strengths

• Provides specific impact figures for affected population (5,949,956) and cropland area (892,075 hectares).
• Originates from an operational humanitarian analysis system (WFP ADAM).
• Has a precise event date (August 29, 2025) and a recent metadata update (May 21, 2026).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's spatial resolution and specific data variables within the GEOTIFF files are not described.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some analytical methods.
