Chapter 3.2

Aerial photos provide a big picture •

of landscape features. Structures and sensitive areas that should be included on a site assessment are often visible on aerial photos. Water bodies, types of vegetation, and problem soil conditions can be identified by subtleties in colour and shading on black and white or colour aerial photos.

Actual land based distances and areas can •

be estimated from aerial photos of known scale using simple tools and procedures. The ASIV also has tools that allow areas and distances to be measured easily. Aerial photos are available by ordering •

from the Alberta Government’s Air Photo Distribution Office or using the ASIV.
