This scientific paper approaches a research topic of great importance and actuality in the field of Civil Engineering, Hydrotechnics, and Geomatics using the 3D scanning technologies for the hydrotechnical arrangements (Topolov\u0103\u0163u Mic, Co\u0219teiu and S\u00e2nmartinu Maghiar) and hydroameliorative (Cruceni Pumping Station). In Romania, data collection was carried out for the first time using the mobile scanning technology (MMS), \u201cBackpack\u201d type, namely, Leica Pegasus Backpack. Data collection using terrestrial laser scanning technology (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) was carried out with the Leica C10 equipment. The processing of point clouds was carried out using the Inertial Explorer program, and the processing of point clouds was carried out with the Cyclone program. The collection of ground checkpoints used for checking, correcting, and analyzing point clouds was carried out using the GPS Leica GS08 equipment. Compared with traditional methods using classical measuring instruments, precise data was obtained (with an error of 2\u20134 cm) through 3D laser scanning technology in a short time and with multiple possibilities of processing and visualizing point clouds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/w14223729","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,18]],"date-time":"2022-11-18T03:57:44Z","timestamp":1668743864000},"page":"3729","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Geospatial Technologies Used in the Management of Water Resources in West of Romania"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Adrian","family":"\u0218muleac","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agriculture, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timisoara, 119, Calea Aradului, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"\u0218muleac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agriculture, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timisoara, 119, Calea Aradului, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cosmin Alin","family":"Popescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agriculture, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timisoara, 119, Calea Aradului, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sorin","family":"Herban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, Politehnica University Timisoara, Pia\u0163a Victoriei Nr. 2, 300006 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teodor Eugen","family":"Man","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering, Politehnica University Timisoara, Pia\u0163a Victoriei Nr. 2, 300006 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Florin","family":"Imbrea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agriculture, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timisoara, 119, Calea Aradului, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adina","family":"Horablaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agriculture, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timisoara, 119, Calea Aradului, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Mihai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agriculture, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timisoara, 119, Calea Aradului, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9335-0939","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raul","family":"Pa\u015fcal\u0103u","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agriculture, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timisoara, 119, Calea Aradului, 300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tamas","family":"Safar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central and Eastern Europe, Leica Geosystem Part of Hexagon, Marina stny.
