How to create the digital model of the water reservoir in just 1 day
By using new technologies, such as LIDAR scanners, drones, and USVs, it is now possible to improve the level of accuracy and time spent on acquiring the reservoir's topography and calculating its storage capacity.
Managing large water reservoirs can be challenging over time due to inaccurate or outdated geographic information, resulting in discrepancies between actual and initial design data. To effectively maintain reservoirs, it is essential to use advanced measurement methods, such as surveying and mapping with LiDAR scanners and unmanned vehicles that help timely provide accurate monitoring and calculation of water storage volume as well as forecasting and simulation of hydrological conditions.
In this one-day project, it was demonstrated that the use of a hydrographic USV to obtain underwater mapping and a UAV equipped with a LiDAR scanner to obtain reservoir boundaries and topographic data results in the simplified and efficient management of large water reservoirs.
