This research aimed to show case how remote sensing technologies and geographic information systems can be utilized to identify issues arising from the Earths terrain. The study focused on the water accumulation during post rainfall, in the entrance of Tripoli specifically in the Tajoura (bivy) area. This water buildup often leads to traffic congestion resulting in road closures and rising water levels that sometimes reach building entrances. Such circumstances affect the planning of the area and its neighboring regions. Satellite images sourced from the US geological survey website were employed to analyze features of the study area and present them through digital maps illustrating surface topographical characteristics, like area shape, land slopes, water flow patterns, etc. Various analyses were conducted including assessments, hydrological studies, understanding structures and soil types within the study region with an objective to pinpoint core issues related to this phenomenon and explore potential solutions. Keywords: Remote sensing, geographic information systems, urban planning, topography, water buildup.
