Abstract
Ukraine’s rural and agricultural domains have been grappling with profound setbacks. Moreover, the deliberate destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam not only triggered a major flood along the Dnipro River, but also led to a profound environmental catastrophe. Hence, the goal of the research is to use remote sensing, artificial intelligence and GIS to assess the flooded area and the types of lands affected. The research is directed towards the maximum involvement of areas of agricultural land that were affected by the flooding, as well as the identification of potential hazards on the lands for involvement in agricultural cultivation. Using NDWI it was established that about 65,000 hectares of land were in the flooded zone. The agricultural sector of Ukraine suffered minor losses precisely as a result of flooding in the Dnipro delta.
