  abstract = {{T}he main objective of the current study is to use the {D}igital {E}levation {M}odel ({DEM}) and {G}eographic {I}nformation {S}ystem ({GIS}) to characterize the surfaces of saline soils. {T}o fulfill this objective two pilot areas represents different soil texture were selected. {T}he first area located to the north of the {N}ile {D}elta (alluvial plain) where the second is located at {N}orth {S}inai (aeolian plain. {S}huttle {R}adar {T}opography {M}ission ({SRTM}) images were used for land surface analyses. {T}he spatial analyst function of {ARC}-{GIS} software has been used to produce digital maps of water table and soil salinity. {T}he results indicate that the soil salinity exhibits the low-lying elevation, flat or nearly flat areas (slope < 1%) slopping surfaces of north or south directions. {T}he correlation between water table and soil salinity is significant ({R}2= 0.714) in the {A}eolian plain while it is not significant ({R}2= 0.422) in the alluvial plain. {I}nformation on land surface becomes a must for the management of salt affected soils.},
