Service Description: According to local knowledge, the Barotse Floodplain could be classified in different land types. Information about where these land types are located is useful for planning, management, and conservation of natural resources. Several methods for land cover detection using Landsat 8 TM imagery were employed for the Barotse floodplain area in Zambia. By using the combination of the NDVI and Water index, 11 different classes were mapped. In addition, urban areas and recently burnt areas were identified. The land type map achieved an overall accuracy and a Kappa value of 82.1 and 78% respectively. However, there were 689.68 km2 classified as burnt areas which overlapped with the classification and could have led to misinterpretation. Therefore, it is advisable to continue validating and improving the accuracy of the current map by increasing the surface and distribution of validation points.
