Speaking of that, I took a look at a task in the Harsil area yesterday,
but found that most of the Bing image for the block was a uniform dark
grey. Looking at one of the finished blocks just to the north, which
contained the northern bank of the Ganga, I got the suspicion that what
I was seeing was more of the Ganga, presumably in a flooded state. This
makes me think that, at least at the point I was working, it is
necessary to grab a much wider stretch of territory in the north-south
direction than provided by the task blocks to understand the image properly.
I also looked at another block in the hills north of the river which had
no trace of roads or buildings, but had a lot of dark patches with
ripples on them. I wasn't sure whether these were bodies of water or
lava patches, since the imagery didn't have much colour. Any guidance?

A few weeks ago we began a HMP (humanitarian mapping project) in the

was a good response from our HOT volunteers and we were able to rapidly map
several towns as well as a lot of connecting roads to smaller villages in
the mountains.
