Useful information
AS PART OF
Accadueo, Italy’s international trade show dedicated exclusively to the civil and industrial water sector value chain.
WHERE
Nuova Fiera del Levante, Bari
New Pavilion,
Goccia Room
WHEN
FOCUS
Satellite data, drones and digital technologies for water and land management.
The conference
Digitalisation of the water sector: satellite data and drones for water and land management
Event organised in collaboration with
University of Bari
Digital transformation is changing how water resources are monitored and managed, providing increasingly effective tools for inspecting infrastructure and facilities and monitoring the surrounding area. By integrating drones, GIS and IoT sensors, data can now be collected rapidly and safely according to specific operational requirements, improving knowledge of the area and supporting more timely and sustainable decisions.
The conference will examine the main applications of UAV systems for inspecting water networks, reservoirs and natural water bodies, showing how these technologies can also support land monitoring, hydrogeological risk prevention and the protection of water resources.
Through the presentation of case studies and contributions from institutions, water utilities, universities and companies, the event will provide an overview of the latest applications of UAV technologies, bridging research and real-world implementation and highlighting the opportunities offered by digitalisation for increasingly efficient, resilient and future-ready water management.
