Abstract

With the rapid development of UAV technology, its application in the construction of agricultural water conservancy facilities is becoming increasingly widespread. This paper reviews the application of UAV technology in land surveying, soil and water conservation, irrigation system design, and the maintenance and management of agricultural water conservancy facilities, discussing the advantages and challenges brought by UAV technology. UAV technology has improved the efficiency and accuracy of data collection, optimizing the planning and management of agricultural water conservancy facilities. However, the complexity of the technology, operational limitations, legal regulations, and privacy and security issues are major obstacles that need to be overcome in the application of UAV technology. This paper proposes suggestions for future development, including improving the autonomy and durability of UAVs, simplifying data processing procedures, and strengthening legal and regulatory construction. Through these measures, UAV technology is expected to play a greater role in the field of agricultural water resources, contributing to the sustainable development of agricultural production.
