Once a thriving water body, Kaarakuttai — a small yet vital lake in northern Coimbatore — had been reduced to a shadow of its former self. Shrubs had claimed the shoreline, debris piled up along its banks, and its water-holding capacity had dwindled.
But when Siruthuli, a renowned NGO dedicated to water conservation, joined hands with SKYX Aerospace, the vision was clear — to breathe new life into Kaarakuttai using cutting-edge drone technology.
This wasn’t just about mapping a lake – it was about uncovering hidden vulnerabilities, redefining its potential, and ensuring it could hold its ground for years to come.
Our mission began with a detailed Drone Mapping Survey to capture every corner of the lake. But this wasn’t an ordinary mapping exercise — our objective was to unlock crucial insights that traditional methods often overlook.
Armed with precision drones and advanced GIS technology, our team launched a mission with multiple objectives:
Once our mapping was complete, the results revealed that the lake’s original capacity had been drastically reduced. Shrubs, silt deposits, and unwanted structures were choking its potential.
The data we provided enabled Siruthuli and its partners to take targeted action:
Dense shrubs were cleared.
Unwanted structures were dismantled.
Parts of the lakebed were carefully excavated to increase its capacity.
Every decision – from where to dig to which areas required reinforcement – was driven by data from our drone survey.
Once the rejuvenation was complete, we deployed our drones once again to perform a Post-Rejuvenation Mapping Survey.
The results were breathtaking.
Our second mapping not only showcased the increased storage capacity but also visually captured the dramatic transformation of Kaarakuttai. By overlaying Before vs. After data, stakeholders could see:
Thanks to Siruthuli’s dedication and SKYX Aerospace’s technological expertise, Kaarakuttai is no longer a neglected water body — it’s now a thriving ecosystem with renewed potential.At SKYX Aerospace, we believe that data can drive transformation — and this project proved just that.
