Features: This book is one of the "Excellent Planning Textbooks for Higher Education Institutions." The book consists of sixteen chapters. Chapters 1-4 introduce the basic knowledge of surveying, focusing on fundamental surveying principles, basic knowledge of measurement errors, and the analysis of observation result accuracy. It emphasizes various instruments and tools used in elevation measurement, angle measurement, and distance measurement, as well as their principles, methods, and accuracy requirements. Chapters 5-19 cover the principles, methods, and steps of topographic mapping, with increased emphasis on digital mapping. The book also provides detailed introductions to the general applications of topographic maps and their use in water conservancy and hydropower engineering. Chapter 10 focuses on the principles and applications of GPS positioning. Chapter 11 introduces the specific applications of total stations in topographic mapping and engineering stakeout. Chapters 12-16 are dedicated to engineering surveying, covering the measurement of canals, roads, pipelines, and power transmission lines, basic stakeout work, the layout of hydraulic structures, and deformation monitoring of hydraulic structures. Chapter 14 provides a detailed introduction to river (underwater) topographic mapping. Each chapter includes review questions, and the book concludes with technical parameters of major instruments and references for readers to practice, refer to, and consult during learning and application. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate programs in water conservancy and hydropower engineering, soil and water conservation, agricultural water and soil engineering, hydrogeology, water resources management, and is also applicable for adult education, engineering management, and technical personnel in the aforementioned fields.
