Abstract: Tuni reservoir is from 4400 to 5700 meters of hight. As a characteristical vegetation high altitude areas under the glacier, we vivify to study about vegetation characteristics in this research. Applying two method: 1) Experiment analysis of characteristical vegetation in situ. 2) Satellite image analysis. To learn the pattern of evapotranspiration (ET) we experiment research due to Festuca (Grass land) and temperature change. For the second one we retrieved Landsat 5 remote sensing images of the area of 2011. This study results is as fellow; a) Large vegetation cover changes ET average 5.1mm/day-0.1mm/day. b) Valley of around the rainy season shows remarkable high vegetation activity degree. c) Land cover of Tuni reservoir upstream shows decrease in glacier area and increase in vegetation covering as tendency during recent years.
