Abstract	To perform a good classification for vegetation by using Remote Sensing data. In this research the study area located in the Erbil and Sulaimanya governorates are located on longitude 36° 11' 24" North 44° 06' 00"east, and 35°40'00" North and 45°30'0" East, respectively. One scene of the Landsat-TM images used to investigate changes of the vegetation distribution by Normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI), the results referred to more green areas in Erbil than Sulaimanya, that's mean, the no vegetation area increased by 247.14 ha because some barren soil and water bodies increased in Sulaimanya. The dense vegetation area increased too in Sulaimanya and poor vegetation decreased because the agriculture exploitation of the land but the other vegetation classes such as moderate, very dense vegetation decrease with small amount. The highest values of Kast in studied sites were 60.89, 60.34, 77.73, 55.12 and 88.67 cm.hr -1 recorded in surface horizons of P1, P2, P6 (Sulaimanya sites) and P1, P2 (Erbil sites) respectively. The reason of upturn value in hydraulic conductivity was the effect of organic matter content which led to decrease the bulk density and higher porosity, MWD. Pedon 3 in Erbil site situated within the classification dense vegetation, while the pedon 3 Sulaimanya site and pedon 4 Erbil site situated within the classification moderate vegetation, Pedon 5 Sulaimanya site placed within classification poor vegetation, was due to high free iron oxides content in this site.
