The study area is located in El-Hamul area to the south-east of Lake Burullus, which mostly suffers from water logging and high salinity levels. A detailed survey was carried out on a grid system with 2.5 km lag interval, where soil samples and groundwater samples were tested for the main chemical and physical characteristics. Point maps with attributes were created on ArcGis 9.0 and interpolations were made using Spherical Kriging Models. Two landsat TM images dated June 1988 and June 1998 used for the study with the aid of ERDAS Imagine 8.5. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) has been calculated to separate bare and vegetated areas. The vegetated and bare areas were used as a base to separate the corresponding area at different bands such as salinity, texture and groundwater for both vegetated and bare areas. The digital values of the tested layers were input to Neuralyst v1.4 Software to use the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique to create two networks (one for bare and the other for vegetated soil) and to estimate the soil salinity. Neuralyst v1.4 was applied on two different applications for vegetated and for bare soils. To design, implement and validate ANN technique in soil salinity detection, the first stage comprised the adaptation of the network parameters for optimizing stability and achieving minimum output error, and the second stage was to validate the results. The resulting calibrated model was applied on the image data of 1998 to establish a new salinity map. The resulted salinity map was verified with field samples at 145 points. In the regression analysis a positive relation between the measured and the predicted soil salinity was determined R2=0.72, To point out the differences between the soil salinity of year 88 and 98, most of the study area is degradation representing 51 % of the total area while the constant and improved area represented 22 % and"
