Panel (a) displays a map depicting the 2022 flooding in Pakistan, with dark blue indicating severe inundation and lighter blue representing areas with less severe flooding. Concentric rings illustrate statistics on affected populations, calamity-declared districts, regions, and displaced populations. Arrows indicate monsoon spells, with their occurrence dates shown. Panel (b) illustrates the flood’s progression from May to September. Panels (c–f) focus on the most affected Larkana Plain, where a 100 km² inland lake formed. (The base map in panels (a) is from the USGS, and the image in panels (c–f) is from a satellite image).
