Calculating Sediment for Dredging Plan in Georgia

Aquatic Environmental Services, a lake mapping partner within The Mapping Network completed a lake survey for a reservoir near Atlanta, Georgia.   The current water depths were mapped as well as the depth to hard bottom.  The difference between the current water depth (top of sediment) and the hard bottom is the amount of soft sediment that can be removed to bring the lake back to the original depths.  The client is preparing for dredging proposals…

Measuring Sediment Volume in a Pond

Solitude Lake Management created a bathymetry and a sediment volume study for a home owners association in Virginia. The pond was mapped to understand current water depths and to calculate the amount of accumulated sediment.  This information with assist the HOA with long term management planning of the water body. About The Mapping Network:  The Mapping Network is an industry leader in Geographic Information Systems, GPS Data Collection, Aerial Imagery, and Data Conversion.  We specialize…

Reservoir Dredge Comparison Map

The Mapping Network completed a bathymetry survey to show the status of a dredging project  for a drinking water reservoir.   The comparison map was calculated to verify the amount and location of material removed.   Areas still needing to be dredged are located and the dredging contractor will focus their efforts on those locations.  This verifies the dredging has reached the planned depths and keeps all parties on the same page. About The Mapping Network:  The…

Monitoring Water Depths in North Carolina Lake

Solitude Lake Management created a lake map for a home owners association (HOA) in North Carolina.   The 97 acre lake has been losing water depth in the SW and NW inlets due to sedimentation.   The HOA will use the map for sediment removal planning and as a fishing map for residents. About The Mapping Network:  The Mapping Network is an industry leader in Geographic Information Systems, GPS Data Collection, Aerial Imagery, and Data Conversion.  We…

Calculating Water Volume after Dredging in New York

Allied Bilogical, a lake mapping partner within The Mapping Network helped a Home Owners Association (HOA) map a series of ponds and waterways.  The HOA was preparing for permitting and dredging proposals and they needed the current water volume and post dredge water volume for each water body unit.  Also part of the project was sediment core sampling to understand the type of sediment materials in the ponds.   This information will assist the HOA in…

Watershed and Bathymetry in Arkansas

The Mapping Network completed bathymetry and sediment maps for each of the 7 lakes of a home owners association in Arkansas.   The lakes ranged in size from 80 to 500 acres.   The purpose of the multi-year project was to use the maps to plan for fish habitat improvement projects, sediment monitoring and to create accurate fishing maps for community anglers.  Part of the project included creating a watershed map for each lake, and calculating…

Pond Depth Mapping in Atlanta, Georgia

The Mapping Network and Aquatic Environmental Services teamed up to create a bathymetric study for a pond in a golf course community in Atlanta, Georgia.   Up-to-date water depths and volume are required for treatment applications, fisheries management and monitoring sedimentation rates. About The Mapping Network:  The Mapping Network is an industry leader in Geographic Information Systems, GPS Data Collection, Aerial Imagery, and Data Conversion.  We specialize in terrain and sub-surface (bathymetry) GPS mapping, topographic mapping, and aerial…

Lake Mapping for 7 lakes in Arkansas Community

The Mapping Network completed bathymetry and sediment maps for each of the 7 lakes of a home owners association in Arkansas.   The lakes ranged in size from 80 to 500 acres.   The purpose of the multi-year project was to use the maps to plan for fish habitat improvement projects, sediment monitoring, dredge cost-analysis and for fishing maps to community anglers.
