Accurate and cost effective mapping of water bodies has an enormous significance for environmental understanding and navigation. However, the quantity and quality of information we acquire from such environmental features is limited by…
This paper presents the portable autonomous probing system (APS), a low-cost robotic design for collecting water quality measurements at targeted depths from an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV). This system fills an important but often…
Hydropower dams and reservoirs have been identified as the main factors redefining natural hydrological cycles. Therefore, monitoring water status in reservoirs plays a crucial role in planning and managing water resources, as well as…
Water level monitoring is critical for flood management, water resource allocation, and ecological assessment, yet traditional methods remain costly and limited in coverage. This work explores radar-based sensing as a low-cost alternative…
The ability to navigate, search, and monitor dynamic marine environments such as ports, deltas, tributaries, and rivers presents several challenges to both human operated and autonomously operated surface vehicles. Human data collection and…
Climate change has increased the frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as hurricanes and winter storms. The complex interplay of floods with tides, runoff, and sediment creates additional hazards -- including erosion and the…
Research on coastal regions traditionally involves methods like manual sampling, monitoring buoys, and remote sensing, but these methods face challenges in spatially and temporally diverse regions of interest. Autonomous surface vehicles…
Dam reservoirs play an important role in meeting sustainable development goals and global climate targets. However, particularly for small dam reservoirs, there is a lack of consistent data on their geographical location. To address this…
The preservation, monitoring, and control of water resources has been a major challenge in recent decades. Water resources must be constantly monitored to know the contamination levels of water. To meet this objective, this paper proposes a…
Whenever a person hears about pollution, more often than not, the first thought that comes to their mind is air pollution. One of the most under-mentioned and under-discussed pollution globally is that caused by the non-biodegradable waste…
Sustainable water quality underpins ecological balance and water security. Assessing and managing lakes and reservoirs is difficult due to data sparsity, heterogeneity, and nonlinear relationships among parameters. This review examines how…
Manually monitoring water quality is very exhausting and requires several hours of sampling and laboratory testing for a particular body of water. This article presents a solution to test water properties like electrical conductivity and pH…
Robots such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) have been used for sensing and monitoring aquatic environments such as oceans and lakes. Environmental sampling is a challenging task because the…
In large infrastructures such as dams, which have a relatively high economic value, ensuring the proper operation of the associated hydraulic facilities in different operating conditions is of utmost importance. To ensure the correct and…
Despite substantial technological advancements, the comprehensive mapping of surface water, particularly smaller bodies (<1ha), continues to be a challenge due to a lack of robust, scalable methods. Standard methods require either training…
The North Slope of Alaska is dominated by small waterbodies that provide critical ecosystem services for local population and wildlife. Detailed information on the depth of the waterbodies is scarce due to the challenges with collecting…
This paper describes the design, implementation and testing of a suite of algorithms to enable depth constrained autonomous bathymetric (underwater topography) mapping by an Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV). Given a target depth and a…
In this paper a Complex Network approach is taken to understand the salient features of Indian Water Dam Networks. Detailed analysis of 15 river basin networks have been carried out. The data has been taken from "River Basin Atlas of India"…
Both higher efficiency and cost reduction can be gained from automating bathymetric surveying for offshore applications such as pipeline, telecommunication or power cables installation and inspection on the seabed. We present a SLAM system…
This paper addresses the problem of robotic operations in the presence of adversarial forces. We presents a complete framework for survey operations: waypoint generation,modelling of forces and tuning the control. In many applications of…
