Preparation of Topographic Maps Using Aerial Imagery for Irrigation and Drainage Network Design in Uganda
Project Objectives
To produce 1:2000-scale topographic maps using available aerial imagery to identify and evaluate the most suitable locations for the development of irrigation and drainage infrastructure.
To establish an integrated geospatial database for technical, economic, and environmental analyses.
To facilitate the optimal design of irrigation systems through the high-accuracy topographic datasets and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs).
Scope of Consultancy Services
Production of topographic maps required for the feasibility studies and engineering design of large-scale irrigation development projects in the Mount Elgon, Rwenzori, Agoro Hes, and the southwestern highlands of Uganda.
Pre-processing of available aerial imagery and generation of high-accuracy three-dimensional terrain models based on precise exterior orientation parameters.
Preparation of engineering topographic maps to support the design of irrigation canals, pumping stations, regulating reservoirs and dams, and associated hydraulic structures.
Development of Digital Elevation Model (DEMs), slope maps, and aspect maps for hydrological studies, terrain analysis, and water transfer system design.
Preparation and delivery of base maps in GIS and CAD-compatible formats.
