Determination of pond volume with using an unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

Water management will become a very important topic in the near future. Water scarcity has been seen in most of the world due to drought because of global warming. Water storage is paramount under water scarce situations. Mersin, characterized by the Mediterranean climate, has been negatively affected by climate change. Water retaining structures are needed to build to carry on agricultural activities all year round in the city. Advances in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies have made it easier to model engineering projects. In this study, we modelled a site on which a pond will be built in the near future using a UAV. We created the Digital Surface Model (DSM) and orthophoto of the study area to measure the pond’s volume and 3D surface area. The pond will become an economic component of the region.
