Abstract

With regard to the hydrologic and agricultural issues, the capacity of water available to soil is considered to be an important variable and its estimation in catchment basin is deemed a principle. Due to the lack of consistency in taking the samples, unavailability of sufficient data for recognizing the characteristics of a region and also it is being time-consuming and costly to estimate the water available to soil and its space changes, the use of satellite images is more feasible and less costly. That being said, it is of the essence to develop simple method and models for estimating the capacity of water available to soil from distance. The theoretical background of this research is based on the relationship between vegetation and the temperature of the surface of the earth in estimating the capacity of water available to soil. In the study, in order to estimate the capacity of water available to soil in catchment basin in Hiv located at Hashtgerd, Landsat 7 satellite was used. For the earth control, 50 samples of soil were taken which were distributed in systematic ways.  80 percent of the taken samples were used for combined-model process of the earth surface, using a normalized index for vegetation. Also, 20 percent of the samples were used for the validation of the model. The validity, using multivariate regression with a coefficient determination of 0/85 was significant at 0/01 and the square mean error was 2/6.
