Environmental Monitoring FAQ — Farmington, UT
What environmental monitoring can drones do in Farmington?
Drones equipped with multispectral and LiDAR sensors monitor vegetation health (NDVI), wetland changes, erosion patterns, wildlife habitats, and water quality indicators in and around Farmington.
Can drones detect vegetation health?
Yes. Multispectral sensors capture near-infrared data that reveals plant health invisible to the human eye. NDVI analysis identifies stressed vegetation, invasive species, and irrigation issues before they become visible.
How often should environmental monitoring be conducted?
Monitoring frequency depends on the project. Seasonal aerial imaging flights (quarterly) are common for tracking vegetation changes and erosion. Active sites may require monthly or event-triggered aerial imaging flights following storms or construction activity.
