الملخص EN

Drought is one of the most dangerous problems facing vegetation cover anywhere on the earth's surface.

and its impact appears especially in semi-dry and semi-humid environments (as is the case in the study area).

, repetition drought has been studied and their impact on vegetation cover was compared through the rates of climatic elements of the stations in the region for 33 years, with reliance on a satellite image of the region to evaluate the impact of these waves and to indicate the extent of the deterioration of the vegetation cover compared to the severity of the drought wave in the region.

The satellite images captured in March were used to compare the effect of changes in the vegetation cover for the greenest months, and by using Land Sat 8 satellite imagery, for the accuracy and clarity of its visuals, and to show the extent of the changes that occurred over the past few years.

ARC MAP 10.8 geographic information systems software was used in processing imagery and applying the NDVI indicator, Drought waves are dangerous for the deterioration and decline of vegetation cover in the region.
