Abstract
Changes in land use are evident in the north-western parts of Egypt mainly due to agricultural, industrial, tourism and urbanization activities. Accordingly, the main aim of the current study was to estimate the changes in agricultural lands and water features in El-Hammam area from 1987 to 2017 using remotely sensed data and techniques. For that purpose, Landsat data were collected during four periods (1987, 2001, 2007 and 2017). These data were preprocessed and analyzed. Two vegetation and water indices were used to study the changes in agricultural lands and water features in the studied area during these four periods of time. The two vegetation indices include the NDVI and the SAVI, whereas the two water indices are the NDWI and the MNDWI. The obtained results indicated a significant increase in agricultural areas, which is mainly due the increase in land reclamation and cultivation projects. The areas of water bodies were also increased, which could be attributed to the increase in agricultural irrigation and drainage.  This reveals the importance of the studied area in agricultural development and sustainability.
