In: Fayoum Journal of Agricultural Research and Development 2009.v.23(2)Summary: Wadi EL-Natrun area is one of the promising areas in the Western Desert for reclamation and utilization due to its location and the presence of ground water in a suitable quality for irrigation. It is located in the northeast corner of the Western Desert between longitudes 30° 00' and 30° 30' East and latitudes 30° 15' and 30° 30' North: Wadi El-Natrun is a morphotectonic depression, having the lowest portion at its_center (-23 m ASL) with gradual increase elevation towards the outer margins of the depression. The geomorphological characteristics of Wadi El-Natrun depression and their surrounding lands were studied using the remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) techniques. Landsat ETM image (2006), Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN map), Digital Elevation Model (DEM map), geological map and data verification by in situ observation were used for delineating the main geomorphologic units. Key words: Wadi El-Natrun, geomorphological units, landcover map Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS).
