Crop Monitoring

Imagen Consulting uses time series of multi-spectral imagery through the growing season to monitor crop growth and health.  Spatial analysis shows the degree of uniformity across individual fields and gives an indication of expected yields and areas of improvement.

Catchment Modelling

Imagen Consulting can assess catchment-wide water resources and calculate risk of supply failure.  Taking a holistic approach, including analysis of water rights, we can detail catchment management strategies to ensure equitable and fair distribution of scarce water resources.

Bathymetric Surveys

Imagen Consulting has undertaken over 40 bathymetric surveys across 5 countries.  These range from medium to large agricultural dams, municipal water storage dams and sections of large rivers, for example Pool Malebo on the Congo River and the vicinity of Ngonye Falls on the Zambezi River.  These surveys provide a vital step in water resource audits and river bed modelling as well as providing insight into magnitudes of sedimentation.

Soil Mapping

Imagen Consulting uses satellite imagery as well as on the ground analysis to produce soil maps, which will assist in identifying soil types and properties within the area of interest.

Vegetation Monitoring

Imagen Consulting uses time series of satellite imagery to assess land-cover change and monitor/quantify deforestation.  This provides valuable information for environmental, social and hydrological studies.

High Resolution Imagery:

Near Infrared and NDVI

Imagen Consulting uses near infra-red and NDVI information to determine the quality of various types of crop over an extended period. It can be used to assess ground cover and soil chemistry.  It is accurate, reliable and non-destructive.

Hydrological Modelling

Imagen Consulting uses the Pitman Rainfall-Runoff Model to assess water resources in data-scarce areas and provide meaningful runoff forecasts for potential dam-sites and/or irrigation projects.

Comprehensive Farm Assessment and Irrigation Design

Imagen Consulting will use the information from drones, sonar and in situ data gathering to create comprehensive farm resource assessments.  These can be used in the planning and implementation of irrigation systems.

LiDAR Processing

Imagen Consulting has the capability of implementing  LiDAR - Light Detection and Ranging - based projects and analysis.  The LiDAR gives us very accurate Digital Elevation models for hydro-engineering, planning and implementation purposes.
