Classification of seasonal dynamics of soil moisture according to satellite data Sentinel-2, Jizzakh region, Uzbekistan

5 Conclusions 
In this study, MNDWI was applied to monitor seasonal changes in open water surfaces. 
The analysis showed the difference between open water in different types of vegetation

cover. In the previous study, 4 main classes of soil cover were identified in the study area: 
natural grass cover, agricultural land, land plots, and water. The open water in the cropland 
type was found to change over a short period from April to July (Figures 8, 9, 10, and 11). 
Among these classes of soil cover, arable lands demonstrated a specific MNDWI model 
associated with seasonal irrigation of rice arable lands with values up to 0.6. The irrigation 
season lasted approximately 2 months from the end of April to the end of June. Dense 
grassy areas had a different MNDWI pattern, where the humidity of open surfaces was 
displayed during April-May. In July, vegetation on the wetlands increased significantly. In 
general, MNDWI reflected the humidity of exposed surfaces and the water content in 
vegetation. 
All calculations were made using the QGIS program, maps were also created according 
to the MNDWI water and NDVI vegetation indices, and all areas of the region's agriculture 
were analysed. These sections were divided into classes and histograms were created based 
on them. 
MNDWI of wheat fields was characterized by a specific structure due to the special 
irrigation regime, different from other plots. 
The conducted research methodology can be applied in many regions under climate 
change adaptation programs, monitoring of agricultural vegetation areas, hydrological 
studies, and soil cover classification. 
The main discovery is the structure of rice fields, which had a special irrigation regime, 
different from other types of soil cover. The results can be used in hydrological studies, 
vegetation classification, and environmental studies related to climate change studies.
