This study aimed to describe the water erosion modeling in Daher Aljabal and its surrounding areas in Al-Sowaida Governorate based on GIA and RS. The water erosion risk map was obtained by applying GIS model developed on the basis of ten factors influencing the erosion process. GIS layers were built for every factor. The weights for all factors were added together. Based on sum of these factors, water erosion was divided into six erosion risk levels. Results showed that 12% of the study area was classified in levels 5 and 6, which reflect high and very high water erosion risks. Land topography was the main factor in water soil erosion. Terraces are effective ways to decrease the water soil erodability. Results also showed that GIS and RS were powerful tools in water erosion risk assessment mapping.

Remote sensing technique is considered as one of the main sciences that grew very fast last years. Satellite images are important and advanced source to get data about any region on the earth. Using satellite images, integrated with geographic info rmation system (GIS) for mapping are considered as one of the modern applications that expanded widely now a days. This paper aims at integrating the techniques of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) for performing topographic study of landsat7 satellite image taken of a part of northern part of Lattakia. The two software, Erdas Imagine and ArcGIS are used to perform topographic analysis depending on digital processing for the image, then analyzing its terrain. Depending on digital terrain model (DTM), 3D slope image is derived. Land use map is written for the study area. Then, some spatial analysis are performed to find the best positions to construct different projects that have economic benefits. finally, analyses and results are discussed.
This study concentrates the use of remote sensing and geographic information systems to identify prospective areas for water harvesting, This study concentrates on the identification of the potential areas for water harvesting projects in Hessia a nd the adjacent areas, within a total area of 1300 km2. The data and information for the study area are collected from different sources and satellite images. The thematic maps and digital database were prepared through analysis and visual and automatic interpretation of satellite images, and analysis and intersections between different layers were procedure in order to apply the criteria that are used in these studies to determine optimal and typical sites for the establishment of preparation water harvesting. The result of this study shows the efficiency of using the remote sensing techniques and the geographic information system in the identification of the potential areas for water harvesting projects.
The phenomenon of soil salinization is one of the most prevalent environmental problems and damages the environment, especially in dry and semi-arid areas. The detection of soil salinity and the preparation of its maps have been a great success and d evelopment, especially after the development of mathematical models that have been worked on in different ways, including the ways in which sensor data are used in conjunction with statistical models miscellaneous.
Al- Qusier region is important agricultural areas in Syria, and contribute to cover a significant part of the agricultural needs of the country ,but it was suffering of poor land use in some locations. This study aims to prepare maps of land use an d land cover using remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques, the study relied on SPOT-4 satellite images with spatial resolutions 10 m for (white–black) images and 20 m for color images. The study found a view of results were the ability of remote sensing and geographic information systems in the production of accurate maps of land use/land cover and establish a digital database for spatial land use and land cover for Al- Qusier region.
Studying and drawing the soil maps is considered by using the way of data integrating the remote sensing and the geographical information system of new and developed technologies in which we define what all related to soil through these studies an d drawing maps to it for example a possibility of drawing the following maps: 1- Drawing a map of situation and the materials of soil surface. 2- Drawing a map of difference of soil colors sensing the soil content of organic matter. 3- A map of lands declination and their salinity and efficiency of drainage in them. 4- Drawing a map of drainage. In the research performing and drawing the up mentioned soil maps for south-west of Hama region by using the new technologies which they have opened for us many horizons in all domains related to many subjects particularly, the subject of this research .
