Autonomous drones will be hovering in the skies over six reservoirs in Singapore from the end of this month, as part of an effort to better monitor water quality and water activities.
Flying “beyond visual range” of a human operator, the unmanned drones will be packed with remote sensing systems and cameras for near real-time video analytics.
They will initially be deployed at MacRitchie and Marina, before being flown at Serangoon, Kranji, Lower Seletar and Lower Peirce later this year, according to PUB, the national water agency.

Besides vertical spaces and rooftops, another alternative space to place solar panels is on reservoirs.
Floating solar farms aim to increase S pore s renewable energy
Tengeh Reservoir is one of the reservoirs where the construction of a floating solar system has commenced.
Spanning an area of over 32 hectares, which is the size of around 45 football fields, the solar system at Tengeh Reservoir will be one of the world s largest floating solar systems.
The energy generated from the solar farm is expected to power about 16,000 four-room HDB flats and will offset seven per cent of PUB s annual energy needs.
Other than Tengeh Reservoir, the national water agency PUB is also in the process of implementing solar systems at Bedok and Lower Seletar reservoirs.
