Imphal, August 01 2019:
At the instruction of the State Government, the Manipur Remote Sensing Application Centre (MRSAC) has surveyed Imphal River from Nillakuthi to Ithai Dam using drone.
After collating with the Revenue Department's cadastral map, the survey identified encroachments into the river as well as its existing condition, informed a source.
After surveying the river in 3-D, the drone surveyed the river's depth as well as cross-sectional area.
A contour map of the river has also been drawn.
Using drone, MRSAC has also mapped Lamphelpat where the State Government has been working to develop a water body covering 485 acres.
The centre has also completed mapping an underground irrigation pipeline which would connect Thoubal Dam with Khongjom via Yairipok, added the source.
