Lake Mapping to Monitor Sedimentation Levels

Integrated Lakes Management recently completed a Bathymetric Lake Mapping project for a lake association in DuPage County, Illinois. In addition to the bathymetric survey, sedimentation depths were collected and a model of sedimentation levels was created to estimate the volume of sludge in the lake. The resulting map provided the baseline depth profile needed for long-term sedimentation monitoring and dredging plans.
