DECLINING FLOWS IN THE ARKAVATHY

  • Late 20th century, Arkavathy

River flows began declining

  • Caused a shift towards, and

now a reliance on, the Cauvery River for water supply

  • Reasons for the drying of

the Arkavathy are unknown

TANK STORAGE IN THE ARKAVATHY

  • Tanks = reservoirs
  • Used to serve as a controlled method
  • f irrigation for farmers
  • Determining the volume stored in

these tanks can help us better understand recharge and streamflow

CURRENT DATA GATHERING PRACTICES

  • LIDAR – Light Detection and Ranging

(expensive and infrequent)

  • Manual bathymetry data gathering

(labor intensive and inefficient)

  • No real improvement towards

sparseness of data

  • Need low cost, high temporal

frequency measurements of tanks

VALIDATION OF RESULTS

  • UAV elevation data compared to bathymetry data taken with handheld sonar depth

finder (accuracy +/- 1.5 centimeters)

GPS-tagged bathymetry points collected 5 to 10 meters apart

Bathymetry referenced to a common datum Values from DEM extracted for each GPS data point Point-by-Point comparison of elevation values

CONTRIBUTIONS

  • Successfully demonstrated the complete topographic/bathymetric data capture for 3

sites in the Arkavathy using multiple robotics platforms

  • This surface data of tanks will help us understand the extent of surface

capture/diversion and groundwater recharge

  • Providing information on this spatial scale at a low cost helps inform and manage

water resources

NEXT STEPS

  • Automation of USV and UAV data fusion in a GIS
  • Per data point cost and time analysis of this data collection method against current

standard practices (e.g., LIDAR)
