The Indian state of Karnataka will use drones to conduct a safety audit of all major dams in the region. “We are not happy with the tribunal’s verdict, so the legal team has suggested filing an appeal,” Shivakumar said. In an effort to prevent any damage from dam collapses, the government has ordered drone flights over the reservoirs and is also considering using them for other purposes. In addition, water resources minister D K Shivakumar announced that GIS mapping and documentation of dams pertaining to his department will be carried out.
