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…
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…
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…
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…
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.

Pond Medics completed a bathymetry and sediment study in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for a 520 acre lake. The client required accurate water depths and volumes for each cove as they plan for future dredging options. The information will also be used to calculate aquatic vegetation treatment applications.

A common concern among pond owners is how much storage capacity has their retention basin lost since it was built? Overtime these basins fill in with sediment and lose their functionality for what they were designed. The big question is when does that happen? A client in Kansas City, Missouri knew their pond was losing depth, but wanted to find out how much? And how long did they have before dredging was needed? The Mapping Network surveyed the pond…
New Pond Construction by Wade Bales, Quality Lakes, Inc. – www.qualitylakes.com Quality Lakes Inc. was contracted to design a pond for a client in South Carolina. The challenge was meeting the permit requirements for maximum surface acreage and maximum storage capacity which limited the overall size of the pond. “By utilizing the lake design tools available through our partnership with The Mapping Network, we were able to design a pond to meet permitting specifications while maximizing fish habitat…
A property association in Peoria, Illinois needed to quantify sediment build-up in their coves. The Mapping Network created a hydrographic and sediment survey of the two lakes and 20 coves. The amount of sediment in each cove was calculated along with other vitals stats about the current lake condition. A watershed map was also generated to help understand where sources of sediment are coming from. About The Mapping Network: The Mapping Network is an industry…
