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