Mapping Water Capicity

The Mapping Network utilized sonar for collecting water depths and drone technology to collect elevation data surrounding the pond to create an accurate 3D model. This model was used to calculate a water capacity chart and help meet a federal mandate. 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…

2014 Hypack Conference

The Mapping Network attended the annual Hypack Conference in Mobile, Alabama. The 3 Day event featured professional hydrographic surveyors from around the world sharing their expertise on data collection, processing and final map production. The Mapping Network team was able to learn about the latest trends in bathymetry, sediment mapping and dredging projects. Knowledge gained will be passed on to our lake mapping partner network and customers. ——————————– The Mapping Network is an industry leader…

Property Owner Association Uses Hydrographic & Sediment Surveys to Create Strategic Sediment Removal Plan – Resulting in Hundreds of Thousands in Savings

The Mapping Network Hydrographic Survey Team exceeds expectations for Property Owner Association. Overview: A lake property association (POA) has been dealing directly with the challenges associated with sedimentation in their lakes for over 20 years. In 2002 The Board of Directors created a 30 year sediment removal and management plan (2002-2031). They looked at 3 different options: A) hiring a dredging professional, B) leasing dredging equipment and use current POA staff to operate, or C)…

Property Owner Association Uses Hydrographic & Sediment Surveys to Create Strategic Sediment Removal Plan

The Mapping Network Hydrographic Survey Team exceeds expectations for Property Owner Association. Sediment problems are inevitable in all lakes and at some point removal is required. Lake dredging and/or excavation can be an expensive process and requires accurate planning to be as cost-efficient as possible. A lake Property Owners Association (POA) had been dealing directly with the challenges associated with sedimentation in their lake. The POA decided they needed to quantify the sediment problem…

How does GPS Accuracy affect Lake Mapping Results?

When thinking about mapping a lake, it’s good to have a basic background of how the different methods of GPS can affect the quality of your data and ultimately the accuracy of your map. Staff at The Mapping Network have been using GPS technology to map lakes since the 1990’s and we want to quickly cover some basics about the primary GPS collection methods available today. It is important to understand how each type of…

Hydrographic Survey and Sub-Bottom Sediment Mapping as Part of Water Management Plan

Widespread Drought Highlights Several Needs for Accurate Lake Maps As a widespread drought continues on throughout much of the country we are receiving calls from homeowners, engineers and government agencies concerned about water levels in their lakes. Whether it be for recreation, sediment build-up or monitoring sources of drinking water, the importance of having and accurate lake map has never been higher. One agency told us they needed to have an idea as to what…
