INTRODUCTION
Soil salinity
- The amount of salt contained in the soil Sources of salinity
- Release of salts from weathering of primary minerals
- High doses of chemical fertilizers
- Irrigation water

Human-induced salinization is the process of
increasing the original status of salt content in the soil.
Salt is the savor of foods but the scourge of agriculture.
Soil salinity can be remotely sensed by several
airborne/space-borne techniques such as multi-/hyper-
spectral imagery, and active/passive microwave
sensing.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Nicolas et al. (2006) detected salinity by means of
combining soil and remote-sensing data. He demonstrated
that his method has given rise to significant improvements in
salinity estimations, as compared to purely-regressive
approaches.
Lounis et al. (2012) exploited the multi-spectral optical data
from the LANDSAT ETM + (Enhanced Thematic Mapper) to
map salinity .

Goldshleger et al. (2013) explored whether spectroscopy
could quantitatively assess salinity. It was concluded that
reflectance spectroscopy is useful for characterizing the key
properties of salinity in growing vegetation and assessing its
salt quality.

Salinity based on Remote Sensing Indicators.

CASE STUDY - 1
Title: Monitoring of salinity in the area using multi-temporal satellite
images.
Authors: Koshal, A. K.
Journal: International Journal of Remote Sensing and GIS
Study Area
The study area lies between geo-coordinates 30 00 to 30 15` N &
76 30` to 76 45`E, Covering 577.86 sq km area of south west
Punjab (Bhatinda and Muktsar districts).

DATA USED AND METHODS
Remote sensing data
IRS 1D images of the study area, were procured from the
National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA) Hyderabad.
Table 1 -Details of satellite data

Ancillary data
The information of contour, administrative boundaries
such as sand dunes, canals, important towns, villages
and roads and highway were digitized to prepare the
base map.
The published soil survey reports, soil maps, water
quality reports for the study area were collected and
utilized during interpretation and field work

PRE FIELD INTERPRETATION
Standard FCC was visually interpreted for salt affected soils.
The salt affected soils usually appear in tones of bright white to
dull white with medium to coarse texture on Standard FCC due
to the presence of salts, on soil surface.
The obstructions to natural drainage like roads, railway lines,
distributaries, etc. can easily be identified on the FCC images.
The waterlogged/ pond areas appear on the FCC image in dark
blue to a black tone with a smooth texture.

Fig 2 A map showing preliminary interpreted units on FCC with base details was generated before going into the field.

FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
In total, the ground truth was collected from 24 villages, 120 samples
were taken from salt affected areas and non-salt affected areas.
A reconnaissance survey of the study area was done using satellite
images (FCC).
Salt affected lands and affected crops were identified on the ground
and ascertained on the satellite image by characterizing image
characteristics.
Satellite image of IRS 1D LISS III of March & May 2000 were used
for the purpose
14
POST FIELD WORK
The tentative legends were prepared during the pre-
fieldwork were also finalized.
Using GIS database a final map showing visual salt affected
soils was prepared.
15
RESULTS
IRS –1D Image data have been used to assess the salt
affected land.
During ground verification salt accumulation was also found
to be associated with salt grass and salt tolerant wild
vegetation. The area mapped in the classes of moderate and
severe salt affected soil was 1.72 % and 7.90% of the total
area.

CASE STUDY - 2
Title: To delineate surface soil salinity in the prime rice-wheat cropping
area.
Authors: Iqbal. F.
Journal: African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2011
Study Area
The study area, district Gujranwala in Central Punjab province, is
located in Rachna Doab, which lies between longitudes 73°38’52”,
74°34’55” East and latitude 31°47’36”, 34°34’2” North.
17
METHODOLOGY
Satellite imagery of Landsat and published map by SSP (Soil
Survey of Pakistan) were used for detection of salt affected
soils.
The raw images were geo-referenced to a common UTM
(Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinate system.

19
Image preprocessing
A self-adaptive filter method was used to remove non-periodic noise and the FFT (Fast
Fourier Transform) method was used to remove periodic noise.
To analyze the pattern of salinity in the study area, the maps must be co-registered in the
same coordinate system (for example, UTM).
Image processing
For salt affected soil detection, NDVI, NDSI, SI, MSI and SR indices were applied.
The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), simple ratio (SR), normalized
difference salinity index (NDSI), moisture stress index (MSI) and normalized difference
built-up area index (NDBI) were computed using the satellite images.
20
GIS analysis
The extracted soil through satellite imagery was superimposed
with the salinity maps extracted through soil association map.
Finally the overlay of both NDSI was performed to extract the
common saline areas.
The vegetation area was masked by NDVI and MSI and
overlapped with built-up area to prepare the final map of land
cover.
21
RESULTS
The salt prone soil showed significant reflection in thermal
IR band and minimum in near infrared band.
About 70% of salt affected area is computed through satellite
imagery.
Results showed that 19% of the rice-wheat cropping area of
Gujranwala district in Rachna Doab of central Punjab
province of Pakistan is salt affected.

SUMMARY
Soil salinity is a major environmental hazard, that impacts
the growth of many crops.
Satellite imagery and false colour composites were visually
interpreted to identify salt affected lands.
Advantage of using remote sensing technology include wide
coverage (the only source when data is required over large
areas or regions), faster than ground methods, and facilitate
long term monitoring.
