Shape of Water
In this workshop, participants learnt how to use modern technologies to map out water bodies with conservation scientist Shashank Srinivasan. It focussed on the use of drones and their imagery to differentiate between water and non-water. Through examples and exercises, participants got a chance to create data-sets, analyze them and understand how they could use the information for advocacy and communication.
