Challenge Description |
||||||||
|
What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present? |
||||||||
|
Soft ground susceptible to land use impacts such as rutting from equipment movement. Need to reduce environmental impacts of surveys.
|
||||||||
|
What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
||||||||
|
Environmental footprint issue if damage is not minimized. Operational costs can increase due to compensation for damage to land and/or efficiency of surveys. |
||||||||
|
Thematic information requirements: |
Terrain information Lithology, structural geology, surficial geology Water quantity |
|||||||
|
What do you currently do to address this challenge? How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
||||||||
|
Local knowledge and reconnaissance. Avoid operations in rainy season in tropical countries. |
||||||||
|
What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge? |
||||||||
|
Weather forecasts to predict wet season end / conditions. Surface water extent and soil moisture information. |
||||||||
|
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
||||||||
|
None |
