Center of Remote Sensing in the Directorate of Space and Communications, merged Ministry of Science and Technology conducted a study on the national project of counting local production of wheat and barley crops to achieve the desired results of the water resources management. The study reviewed the mechanism of counting the local production of wheat and barley crops within a methodology that divides agricultural regions in Iraq into three areas, northern, middle and southern regions where the cultivated areas of the crops were calculated for a full agricultural season in Al-Latifiyah regions to be compared with field measurements to determine the extent of the harvested production. The study also reviewed that the use of satellite images (Sential-2A) with accuracy of 20 m that gives the possibility to distinguish wheat and barley farms from the rest of the crops and calculate the areas of water bodies in Iraq.
