Abstract
This research aims to employ the ability of Remote Sensing & GIS (Geographical Information system) techniques to classify Durbndikan soil basin in the northern of Iraq (Kurdistan region), The importance of this research is the ability of using the digital geotechnical map in the hydrological work such as find surface run-off ,The research done through many stages the first stage is a maps collection (topographic map, satellite image) for study area , second stage is a site visit for collect soil sample and using radiometer device in field to record the spectral reflectance to recognize different soil type by their reflectance, The third stage is a laboratory test stage (liquid limit ,plastic limit, moisture content ,sieve analysis and hydrometer test) are used for unified soil classification , final stage is input data stage through ERDAS 8.4 program to obtain geotechnical map for the all basin, The map shows there are ( five )main types of soil in Durbundikan basin (Inorganic silts, clayey sands, silty sands ,silty soil, inorganic clay) and that each type is a heavily represented in the region.
