Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the nature of the land cover in Khanaqin district. Human and environmental factors have affected the nature of the vegetation cover of the area. This requires the development of quick solutions for treatment and the preservation and sustainability of its environment. Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques were used to monitor the changes in NDVI values in the region and link them with the NDWI water index to show the spatial variation of vegetation locations in the region. ArcGIS10.8 software and Landsat 8 Multispectral Sensor (OLI) satellite imagery were used that can be used to track the degradation of vegetation. The extraction of vegetation cover was carried out by applying unsupervised classification processes. The results revealed a significant decrease in vegetation cover due to a clear decrease in the water level of Helwan River, the main feeder for the area.
