MODULE 2
MEASUREMENTS OF HORIZONTAL DISTANCES AND ADJUSTMENTS
Introduction
Measurements are essential to the functions of the Surveyor. The surveyor’s task is to design the survey; plan its field operations; designate the amount, type and acquisition techniques of the measurements; and then adjust and analyze these measurements to arrive at the required survey results. It is important then, that the individual studying surveying understand the basic idea of measurement or an observation (the two terms are used alternatively as having the same meaning). (R.E. Davis Et. Al; Surveying Theory and Practice p.13)
