DRone Observation NEtworks for Snow water storage monitoring (DRONES) – A cure for energy losses in hydropower production

The project will study how drone propelled observations can be used to replace manually probed snow observations for the methodology developed in the project SNODDAS - Snow Distribution and Data Assimilation for improved spring flood forecasts and sustainable hydropower reservoir regulation. The project aims to reduce uncertainties in the snow volumes in a mountain catchment below 10%.
