    Project Details

    Facing the challenge of locating and assessing non-metallic drainage pipes buried beneath clay-rich soils, the project, led by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in collaboration with Ohio State University (OSU), showcases the transformative potential of precision mapping techniques. By employing sophisticated GPR technology and integrating GPS for accurate spatial referencing, the project revolutionizes the way farmers and landowners manage their drainage infrastructure. Through systematic data collection, grid mapping, and advanced analysis methods, the initiative not only promises to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs but also underscores a commitment to sustainable farming practices and environmental stewardship. This pioneering endeavor stands at the forefront of geospatial innovation, offering a compelling vision for the future of agriculture.
