Talking about Drones or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)

This post collects the slides of the Summer School on the use of UAVs for hydrology monitor, organised by Salvatore Manfreda  (GS) of University of Basilicata. UAVs are getting an increasing attention by hydrologist, and a little literature is growing on the subject.

Here they are the presentations, available on slideshare.
