    There are several branches of surveying including cadastral surveying which deals with defining land parcels, engineering surveying which serves construction projects, and hydrographic surveying which measures bodies of water. Other branches are photogrammetry which uses aerial images to determine positions, topographic surveying which measures elevations and locations on Earth's surface, remote sensing which collects data using sensors on satellites or aircraft, geographical information systems which integrate hardware and software to visualize geospatial data, and global positioning systems which provide location using satellites.

    THE BRANCHES OF SURVEYING :

    Cadastral survey : Cadastral surveying is that branch of surveying which is concerned with the survey
    and demarcation of land for the purpose of defining parcels of land for registration in a land registry.
    Engineering survey : Engineering Surveying is an important disciplinary field that serves construction
    projects
    Hydrographic Survey : Hydrographic Survey is an instrumental survey to measure and determine
    characteristics of streams and other bodies of water extent, and depth of water in lakes or the ocean.
    Photogrammetry: Photogrammetry Is using cameras which are usually carried in airplanes to obtain
    images making measurements from photographs and also to determine the positions on photographed
    objects.
    Topography survey : Is about determining the relative locations of points (places) on the earth's
    surface by measuring horizontal distances, differences in elevation and directions

    Remote sensing: Remote sensors is collect data by detecting the energy that is reflected from Earth.
    These sensors also can be on satellites or mounted on aircraft.
    Geographical Information System: A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware,
    software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically
    referenced information. GIS also allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data
    in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and
    charts.
    Global positioning system : is a space based satellite navigation system that provides location and time
    information in all weather conditions anywhere on or near the earth where there is an unobstructed
    line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
