  abstract = {{S}atellite image {L}andsat-5 {T}hematic {M}apper data acquired in {J}uly 1984 and covering most of the eastern part of {N}ile {D}elta, {E}gypt, were interpreted. {L}and use and land cover features were mapped using a false colour composite image ({FCC}, bands 7, 4, 3 and 5) at scale of 1:100,000. {D}igital image processing includes : contrast enhancement, rationing method, and supervised classification using the parallelepiped classifier technique, were performed. {T}he main land use and land cover categories were determined. {T}he statistical analysis of the classified image reveals that the desert areas represent about 25%, fallow land 19%, agriculture 14%, sabkhas 10%, shallow water 8% and settlement/infrastructure 4%.
