| Abstract | ||
| The current research have been used the satellite images which have been taken for the study area between 27 February- 16March 2005, provided by an American satellite named Aqua US (MODIS). These images have been analyzed by using Integrated Software Multispectral Image Classification Ver. 1.0 (ISMIC), to analyzed and identified the wetland and flood area(landuse classification) by using Supervised Classification method. The studied area classified into five classes and the main area of each of them where calculated for the two different periods, as well as the soft ware (Image J 1.38x) have been used in the spectral analysis of the classified images to produce water change maps. The results indicated that the area of green vegetation and the flooded water areas showed a wide variation during the period of (19) days of the study area, revealed that an increasing in the the area of land covered by flooded water by (2672) sq km on February 27, 2005 to (3179)sq km on March 16, 2005, An increase of (507) sq km. | ||
