Salinity is one of the known parameters by water quality researchers as one of indicator to determine the health of water bodies in an area. Whereas soil salinity is an indicator that shows whether the land is suitable for cultivation of rice fields, ponds or for cultivating other crops, or whether the quality of the soil is not good for planting crops. This study aims to map the distribution of groundwater salinity in the Kwanyar Bangkalan area on Madura Island. Since this area is a fairly sloping coastal area, thus there is possibility that the intrusion of seawater will have a significant impact on the distribution of soil salinity. Given the wide coverage area a method that is able to provide solutions in the form of remote sensing technology is used by utilizing Aqua MODIS satellite imagery in the form of a reflectance value calculated by a remote sensing algorithm of groundwater salinity. The results of the calculation are in the form of a thematic map of soil salinity, which statistically has insignificant distribution, which is include by fairlysmall variancevalue with an alpha alpha value 5%, the conclusion is that the use of satelliteimagery is ableto provide updated information in the field of soil salinitymaping forbcoastel area.
