The dams and water reservoirs in the German province of Baden-Württemberg are resurveyed every five years as part of an ongoing monitoring programme. One of the sites being checked is the Hornberg reservoir, located in the southern Black Forest on a mountain peak 1050 m above
sea level. The reservoir feeds the Wehr hydroelectric power station, 630 metres further down and operated by Schluchseewerk AG. A study by the Geodetic Institute of the University of Karlsruhe set out to determine whether GPS measurements using Leica Geosystems’ new System 500 might be an economical and sufficiently accurate alternative to conventional terrestrial methods.
