15 years ago I had to rebuild the dams on a game reserve I was managing due to flood damage and neglect. How I wished there was an easier, more accurate way of doing the site surveying. Turns out my wishes would be granted 10 years later! Now there is a way to do water management surveying with the use of inexpensive off-the-shelf-drone and open source GIS software technologies! If you are interested in how this tech can be used to survey potential dam or reservoir sites, build virtual dams and calculate floodplain areas, dam volumes and dam wall facade areas please follow the link below:
