Lake Mapping

Question: Do you use certain mapping technologies for pond and lake restoration and maintenance?

Answer: “We offer lake mapping technology that’s generally used to produce the bathymetry map. But the bathymetry, basically, is going to show the contours of the bottom of the pond in a 2D or 3D version. It also will show sediment layers, densities, quantities of that sediment; it will also show vegetation. The vegetation is given off of exothermics, so it takes the temperature as we’re doing the survey. Generally, these bathymetry maps are used for a year-to-year comparison of sediment load or vegetation density growth or treatments that have made an improvement one way or the other.”
