Description
Pollution of continental water resources has emerged as one of the most significant environmental problems in recent decades. This affects both the natural ecosystems inhabiting water areas and the quality of life of the population. The unregulated disposal of large amounts of plastic, construction and household waste into rivers, lakes and adjacent territories leads to significant consequences - degradation of biodiversity, disruption of natural hydrological processes, as well as crises such as floods, pollution of groundwater and drinking water. This study examines the possibilities of applying autonomous technical means - both aerial (drones) and floating (robotic platforms) - for monitoring and control of pollution. These technologies offer a number of advantages: effective monitoring of large areas with minimal resources, the possibility of early detection of unregulated landfills, as well as rapid response to risky situations.
