Abstract: The occurrence and development of the GPS RTK technology and integrated digital water depth measurement technology lends itself to the digital and automatic support of the quality inspection of waterway dredging work. The work principle and operation method of automatic digital water depth measuring systems is set forth using a case study. In addition, the technical issues of section measurement and quality inspection of waterways was analyzed and some interesting findings were found. This method has advantages in precision, reliability and high efficiency, and is applicable and able to be replicated.
