The research aims to monitor changes of agricultural drought in Wadi Al-Musalla basin using remote sensing technology, depending on American satellite imagery Landsat for the years ( 1990 - 2000 - 2019, to derive and classification drought levels of through several indicators including, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Vegetation Condition Index (VCI), Temperature Condition Index (TCI), Water Supplying Vegetation Index (WSVI), and Vegetation Health Index (VHI), to deduce drought and changes that occurred in its distribution areas in basin during the period 1990-2019.
Results of research found that 2019 was less arid, and 2000 was more arid, it,s that confirmed reached area ratio of region that was characterized by a vegetation cover ranged between very poor to poor 31% in 2019, compared to 41% in 1990, 50% in 2000, and area of region that suffered from drought ranged from severe to very severe 12.8% in 2019, compared to 46.7% in 1990, and 79.4% of total basin area in 2000
