India’s first comprehensive flood mapping study was successfully carried out by the Federation of Aerospace Engineers and Robotics Innovations (FAERI) for the Aranmula Heritage Trust, marking a major advancement in the application of drone-based data analysis for environmental and heritage protection. The study focused on the Pamba River, a region historically vulnerable to seasonal floods, with significant ecological, cultural, and infrastructural relevance.
FAERI’s expert team utilized advanced Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technologies, high-resolution aerial imaging, and GIS-based analytics to map flood-prone zones, water flow patterns, terrain variations, and areas requiring urgent mitigation efforts. The data-driven insights generated from this study support long-term disaster preparedness, riverbank conservation, and strategic planning for the Aranmula region.
The final report was officially handed over to a trustee of the Aranmula Heritage Trust—former Governor of Mizoram, Shri Kummanam Rajasekharan. His involvement underscores the importance of adopting modern technology to preserve heritage sites and ensure community safety.
This pioneering initiative positions FAERI as a leader in utilizing drone technology for environmental research and disaster management, showcasing the potential of UAV systems in shaping sustainable and resilient development strategies across India.
