Specialist ready to use drones to combat flooding

摘要

Drones - or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - could be used to help with flood prevention measures, after being given the go-ahead to operate by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Urban flood specialist Richard Allitt Associates (RAA), based in Haywards Heath, has used drones to carry out aerial surveys. It has worked alongside the Environment Agency and water companies such as Severn Trent and Thames Water.
