Soils vary in their characteristics from one place to another place due tointeractions of soil forming and processes. Assessment of spatial and temporal variation of characteristics is needed for any mean or use it's crucial to take into account the diverse spatial differences in soil properties, which has long in this context. Geographic information system (GIS) technology has enormous potential in the field of soil's assessment for upgrading soil statistic systems for an accurate and cost-effective means of understanding changes in the landscape. The future agricultural monitoring of the nutritional quality of the soil in diverse regions and villages is crucial. In this paper assessment of spatial variation of soil salinity using GIS techniques around the Ballia District of Uttar Pradesh is presented from the year 1994 to 2019. Normalized Difference Salinity Index (NDSI) was used. It showed increasing trend in salinity from 1994 to 2019 for each block. Using Landsat (TM/OLI) imageries with a 30 m spatial resolution, the spatial distribution of salinity from 1994 to 2019 was determined and low negative NDSI value was observed from - 0.143 to -0.117 in the southeast part of Ballia which can be an important explanation for soil degradation due to increasing soil salinity.
