THE ROLE OF GEOMONITORING IN AGRICULTURAL DEFORMATION

Abstract

In agriculture, land use is about reducing the cost of production, increasing productivity, carrying out fieldwork at optimal agro-technical times, the size and location of land masses, which are closely linked to the land, and the means of production. Safe use of agricultural assets requires periodic monitoring of their deformation. Deformation monitoring is an area in which measuring instruments and high-precision surveying methods are used. Nowadays it is a normal geodetic practice to use new deformation control technologies. Moreover, various software packages are used for processing and displaying measured values. The purpose of the study is to determine the peculiarities of geomonitoring of objects during construction and operation in order to prevent accidents in time. The article deals with the issue of geodesic monitoring of objects built on unstable soils. The monitoring was carried out using modern geodetic equipment. The main attention is paid to determination of deformation of objects by geodetic methods. Several examples of connection of geotechnical processes with object subsidence are shown in the article and results of geodetic monitoring of objects are analysed.
