“…The geomorphological parameters of the pit (including its cubic capacity, surface area and depth) may be determined with the use of traditional geodetic methods (levelling) or modern ones, such as GNSS technology and the RTK method [74,75]. If LiDAR data are available or may be obtained, the geomorphological parameters may be determined based on data from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), airborne laser scanning (ALS), mobile laser scanning (MLS) techniques, or other photogrammetric measurements (e.g., with use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)) [23,[75][76][77][78][79][80][81]. These methods can also be used to determine the parameters of their own catchments (direct catchments of the pit) that are necessary for hydrological calculations.…”

This paper presents the results of an analysis of the pace of filling one of the deepest European granite quarries with water. A DTM (digital terrain model) based on data from LiDAR ALS (light detection and ranging airborne laser scanning) was used to create a model of the pit of the Strzelin I granite quarry and to determine the reach and surface area of the direct catchment of the excavation pit. The increase in the volume of water in the excavation pit was determined. Analogue maps and DTM were used to calculate the maximum depth of the pit (113.3 m), its surface area (9.71 ha), and its capacity (5.1 million m3). The volume of water collected in the excavation pit during the years 2011–2018 was determined based on the analogue base map and the DTM. The result was 0.335 million m3. Based on the data made available by the mining company, the correlation of the DTM with the orthophotomap of the mining area and additional field measurements, the ordinates of the water level in the years 2011–2018 were determined. Initially, the water surface level in the quarry was located on the ordinate of 66.6 m a.s.l. (July 20, 2011). After the pumping of water was discontinued, the level rose to 96.1 m a.s.l. (January 28, 2018). The increase in the water volume in the quarry pit during specific periods was determined (actual retention increase). The obtained data on the volume of the retained water referred to the period during which it accumulated in the quarry. On average, the net increase in water retention in the excavation pit was 138.537 m3∙d−1, and the calculated net supply from the direct catchment (16.04 ha) was 101.758 m3∙d−1. The use of DTM and measurements of the water level in the excavation pit seem to be an efficient means of estimating the pace of spontaneous filling of the quarry with water supplied from the direct physiographic catchment.

“…The municipality of Pozzuoli shows a multiplicity of urban area classes; it contains industrial areas, modern residential zones, a dense hold town and high uncultivated/wooded green areas. In [7] historical land use, photogrammetric and airborne LiDAR data are used to detect buried landfill sites in the area of Campi Flegrei, that contains the municipality of Pozzuoli; this study shows that in this area are present modifications of the landscape associated with the urban development and quarrying activity. The presence of volcanic hills within the municipal area has allowed an urban development mainly below them and towards the coastal areas.…”

We present a new unsupervised method aimed to obtain a partition of a complex urban system in homogenous urban areas, called urban contexts. The area of study is initially partitioned in microzones, homogeneous portion of the urban system, that are the atomic reference elements for the census data. With the contribution of domain experts, we identify the physical, morphological, environmental and socio-economic indicators need to identify synthetic characteristics of urban contexts and create the fuzzy rule set necessary to determine the type of urban context. We implement the set of spatial analysis processes necessary to calculate the indicators for microzone and apply a Mamdani fuzzy rule system to classify the microzones. Finally, the partition of the area of study in urban contexts is obtained by dissolving continuous microzones belonging to the same type of urban context. Tests are performed on the Municipality of Pozzuoli (Naples - Italy); the reliability of out model is measured by comparing the results with the ones obtained by detailed analysis.

“…h = 640 for EC w < 5 mS × cm −1 h = 800 for EC w > 5 mS × cm −1 Source: Bauder et al [112], Saha et al [113] Research on the morphological properties of mining and post-mining pits often uses GIS tools [20,47,117,118], where the output data are obtained with use of traditional geodesic methods (total station, GNSS) measurements that employ LiDAR techniques (TLS, ALS, MLS, UAV), or a combination of the GNSS and network real-time kinematic (NRTK) methods [20,47,[119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127]. On the other hand, bathymetric surveys of flooded quarries are mostly carried out using single-beam sonar probes [57,60], including low-cost sonar systems [33,128], although LiDAR techniques may also be used for the purposes of such studies [129,130].…”

This paper presents the results of bathymetric measurements of quarry lakes located in inactive granite quarries (Poland, Lower Silesia, County Strzelin), which were used, among other reasons, to determine the surface area, depth, and volume of water retained in the analysed quarry lakes. The usability of water in quarry lakes for agricultural irrigation was also assessed, based on the FAO Guidelines and the PN-84/C-04635 standard. The average surface area of the analysed quarry lakes was 0.99 ha, the average depth was 6.0 m, and the maximum depth was 14.3 m. At the same time, the total volume of the retained water amounted to 307.8 thousand m3, which accounts for 10.6% of the retention capacity of water reservoirs situated in the catchment of the Oława River. The average values of water quality indicators were as follows: electrical conductivity—0.332 mS × cm−1; sodium adsorption ratio—0.56; total dissolved solids—212.4 mg/L; water pH—7.8; BOD5—2.4 mgO2/L. The mean concentrations of ions had the following values: nitrates—0.91 mgN-NO3−/L; sulphates—176.3 mg SO42−/L; chlorides—36.56 mg Cl−/L; sodium ions—14.8 mg Na+/L; calcium—41.3 mg Ca2+/L; magnesium—7.48 mg Mg2+/L; manganese—0.1 mg Mn/L; and iron—0.01 mg Fe/L. The concentrations of water quality indicators that were recorded for the analysed Strzelin quarry lakes were similar to those observed in natural lakes and uncharged water bodies. Water from the analysed quarry lakes met (with some minor limitations) the requirements that enable them to be used for agricultural irrigation. The volume of the water retained in the analysed quarry lakes constitutes an important element of the total balance of water retained in all the reservoirs, ponds, and all Strzelin quarry lakes situated in the catchment of the Oława River, accounting for 10.6% of the total volume of retained water. The article presents the innovative concept of the possibility of using water from quarry lakes in agriculture, based on their quantity and quality and the requirements for the purpose for which they will be used, e.g., for agricultural irrigation.
