The invention belongs to the technical field of decommissioning disposal of nuclear facilities, and specifically relates to a remote control measurement method for the underwater topography of a low drainage pool. For the characteristic that the low drainage pool is of certain radioactivity and large investigation area, radioactive general investigation is carried out on the periphery of the low drainage pool before measurement, and a radiation protection scheme is established, so that the radiation safety of people is guaranteed; efficient, convenient and safe underwater topography measurement measures in combination with equipment such as RTK GPS, a depth finder and a remote control measurement boat are proposed; the depth finder is used for carrying out water depth detection, and compared with traditional water depth measurement ways such as a measurement hammer and a probe, the work efficiency is improved; the remote control measurement boat can be used for patrolling according toan established ship route, so that the water area water depth data is obtained, and synchronous measurement of measurement point water depth data and GPS coordinate point data is realized; and throughremote control operation of the remote control boat, the radiation damage of people is effectively reduced, the radiation safety of people is guaranteed, the operation safety is further improved, andthe occurrence of drowning accidents of people is avoided.
