Stagnant water bodies are prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes, leading to the spread of infections like malaria and dengue. Detecting and treating these areas manually is time-consuming and inefficient. Drones with a camera and spraying mechanism present an automated solution for detecting and treating the water body stagnation to reduce infection caused by such diseases.
Challenges
- Identifying stagnant water in remote, hidden, or shaded areas is difficult and requires advanced technology.
- Delayed identification and treatment lead to the rapid spread of mosquitoes.
- Manual inspections and treatments are labor-heavy and costly.
Solution
- Equipped with RGB, multispectral, or thermal cameras, these drones detect stagnant water and record exact GPS coordinates.
- Use GPS data to autonomously pass to identified areas and apply targeted mosquito larvicides or chemicals.
- Coordinates are instantly sent to the control center for swift action, providing immediate treatment.
- Creates precise terrain maps, identifying ground changes due to water leakage.
