Washed Away! A new AI-powered global flood dataset by @MSFTResearch shows India as the world’s biggest hotspot. One in every 10 sq km of the country has been underwater at least once in the past decade. From Punjab’s paddy fields to Bihar’s devastating river floods, the interactive map reveals startling patterns of inundation. Globally, flood-prone land is 71 per cent higher than earlier estimates, with a steady 5 per cent rise in flood extent every year.
