The soil quality index parameters are as follows ( texture، soil salinity، organic matter content and drainage states). The Soil Quality Indices are mapped by ArcGIS9.3. The results indicate that 4354.83 ha. of the studied area were moderate soil quality with relative extent 54.08% from studied area ranges from 396.9 ha. to 1921.5 ha. at river levees and irrigation basins physiographic unit. respectively.
