In the context of a project named “Watershed and Water Resources” conducted in the Gard département by students at AgroParisTech (Nancy centre) in partnership with the firm Geofalco, a study of the possibilities for using photographs taken by a drone (an unmanned, remotely piloted aircraft) for the purposes of detecting and delineating wetlands was undertaken. The study was able to better assess the potential of drones for detection and delineation of wetlands, as well as their usefulness for mapping natural habitats, detecting plant species, defining and planning management action along with its monitoring and assessment. The multiple applications of drones were briefly evaluated in the context of the management of natural spaces, particularly wetland environments.

Dans le cadre d’un projet intitulé Bassin versant et ressources en eau, mené dans le Gard par des étudiants d’AgroParisTech (centre de Nancy) en partenariat avec la société GeoFalco, une étude des possibilités d’utilisation de photographies issues d’un drone (avion téléguidé sans pilote) dans le but de détecter et délimiter des zones humides a été menée. Cette mission a permis de mieux cerner les potentialités des drones pour la détection et la délimitation des zones humides, mais aussi leur utilité dans la cartographie des habitats naturels, la détection d’espèces végétales, la définition et la planification des actions de gestion ainsi que leur suivi et leur évaluation. Les multiples applications des drones ont été brièvement évaluées dans le cadre de la gestion des espaces naturels et en particulier des milieux humides.
