Abstract
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is currently developing a hydrological forecast system for the Nile river. Soil moisture capacity (SMC) is one of the parameters required to run this system. Lack of ground data permit the authors to simulate this parameter for only a few basins. Therefore, the authors attempted to use vegetation index as a tool for parameterization of the SMC. This paper presents these results
