This article analyzes the possibilities of remote sensing for assessing groundwater level variations. In addition to the NDMI
(Normalized Difference Moisture Index), a number of supplementary spectral indices were applied to determine groundwater levels
more accurately. Based on the results of the analysis, a spatial distribution map of groundwater levels in the Fergana Valley was
produced
