Considered in the paper is a role of vegetative cover in hydrological and hydrogeological processes of the Earth surface. Shown in the article is a relationship between vegetation parameters dynamics and possible flooding and waterlogging processes. We carried out an analyses and comparison of defined vegetation types dynamic in Volynsk region from 2000 to 2006, and concluded that the received data can be applied for improvement of long-term hydrological and hydrogeological risks assessment.

Keywords: flooding processes, hydrological and hydrogeological risks, vegetation, vegetation indexes, remote sensing.
