Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining drone-based water measurements. One of the methods includes receiving, by a drone management system that controls a drone that is configured to collect water samples, data from a simulator that generates simulation data associated with a body of water; receiving, by the drone management system, an indication that the drone is available to collect one or more water samples from the body of water; determining, by the drone management system and based on the data from the simulator, one or more locations associated with the body of water at which the drone is to collect one or more respective water samples; and; transmitting, by the drone management system, the one or more locations associated with the body of water to the drone.
