Studying soil salinity and degradation in Salamiyeh scheme- Syria withintegration of remote sensing (RS) and Geographic information system(GIS)

Abstract

The aim of this research study soil salinity and soil degradation with using data
remote sensing (RS) and Geographic information system (GIS), with using program
(Arc GIS). The integration of data led to dividing the soil salinity map, and soil
degradation. In this research we made group of shape files (geologic, drainage)
depending on a group of maps(geologic, topographic), and use Image
Transformational on satellite images taken different times for this study for reach to
salinity soil map by using (Erdas image 9.1)
At the end of the research we pointed out the causes of soil degradation and
salinization in the study area.
