Digital Elevation Model

DEM of Barrage

A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a critical component in geospatial intelligence and is used to represent the elevation or height of the Earth’s surface at various geographic locations. DEMs provide valuable information for a wide range of applications in, including terrain analysis, cartography, flood modeling, line-of-sight analysis, and military planning.

Use Case:

  • Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are transforming modern agriculture. By providing precise elevation data, DEMs empower farmers to make data-driven decisions that enhance crop yields and environmental sustainability.
  • DEMs enable enhanced terrain analysis, allowing farmers to identify slope variations for informed planting, irrigation, and erosion control. Farmers can efficiently manage soil moisture based on elevation data, reducing water waste. Precision fertilization becomes possible as DEMs reveal soil fertility patterns, minimizing costs and environmental impact. Furthermore, erosion-prone areas are easily identified, supporting strategic erosion control measures.
  • By incorporating DEMs, farmers boost machinery efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. This precision agriculture approach improves productivity while conserving resources, promoting sustainable farming practices.
