Synopsis (short abstract) Libya is characterized by water scarcity. Identifying agriculture areas is essential to improve crop and water productivity in Libya. Crop mask is prepared without ground data as proxy identification of agriculture areas for Fezzan, Libya. Crop varieties (Cereals, Tubers, Forage, Fruit, Vegetables and other crops) are mapped using NDVI time series derived from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from Sep. 2021 to Apr. 2022 using Google Earth Engine. The map is prepared to support field data collection. The results should be further enhanced with ground validation data.

    Libya is characterized by water scarcity. The land cover map is required to support crop and water productivity in Libya. Sampling design needs to be carried out to identify suitable locations for field surveys to collect data for land cover mapping. Stratification based on changes in vegetation and water productivity is carried out to identify the optimum number of sampling locations in Fezzan, Libya at the parcel level
