Use a stable map to inspect the selected land, mapped water systems, wetlands, flood records and seasonal scenarios. Imagery is optional; the evidence layers remain usable without live vegetation imagery.

Vera's interpretation

Vera will compare the selected land with nearby water systems, wetlands, historical events, and seasonal conditions. It will not treat a dry-looking site as environmentally isolated from its wet-season landscape.

JRC surface-water evidence loads with the selected place

The moving shoreline is a seasonal model constrained by the local JRC transition class when available. It is not a claimed satellite shoreline for each month.

Supplied flood records only; absence of a record is not proof of no flooding.

This slider only changes which year's flood records are highlighted. The river, lake, and surface-water-history evidence above stay the same at every year -- that data is a single real snapshot (HydroRIVERS/HydroLAKES/JRC), not a year-by-year series.

Dry-season sale / wet-season reality check

Mapped wetland or lowland features are shown in purple on the map when available. Their presence is evidence about the landscape; it does not establish parcel ownership, legal status, or a current development boundary.

Data roles: mapped waterways/wetlands are sourced from OpenStreetMap where available; elevation/weather are fetched from public services; flood history comes from LandCheck flood evidence (dated, sourced records). Wetland-fill effects are modeled counterfactuals. Ramsar materials document the importance of wetlands for flood control and describe urban encroachment as a threat at some Ghanaian wetland sites.
