As a result of torrential rains during 1997 in Poland, the worst disaster in the country in the written history, six voivodships in the Odra River Basin were partly flooded. Damage to urban, rural and hydrotechnical infrastructures were extensive. To asses the extent of flood and evaluate damage a great number of aerial photographs have been taken. Due to unfavourable weather condition they covered only a part of the Odra catchment. Landsat, Spot and IRS satellites took a few images. Only microwave images acquired by ERS-2 satellite were available for the whole flooded area. The interpretation of images taken by ERS satellite resulted in delimitation of maximum extents of water in the Odra River Basin. This information created a new thematic layer in the GIS database. Analytical GIS tools enabled determination of the area affected with flood in particular administration division, as well as computing the area of each land use category covered with water
