The land use activities ultimately affect the cover spatially and temporarily. major factor responsible for change in use/land is to fulfill growing demands of increasing population through agricultural intensification food clearing natural like forest settlement commercial activities. also disturbs other component soil fertility, erosion, ecology, biodiversity, air quality water regime disturbed area. remote sensing GIS technology has been emerged as a good tool analyze area at spatial temporal scale. In this study, NDVI based classification indicated about significant between year 1990 2014. The Major found where 113 km 2 (2.9%) have degraded 115.4 wetland lost between year 1990
