The application of image processing techniques to landsat satellite images proved to be of major significance in the evaluation of the hydrogeological situation in Qatar peninsula. The images are correlatable with the geophysical resistivity maps of the peninsula. The latter reveal the presence of two major hydrogeological provinces of different character. The landsat images showed the structural lineation patterns and geomorphological features which are important in the hydrogeological studies. This implies that such images are useful in updating the Qatar hydrographic charts.
