Solitude Lake Management created a bathymetry and a sediment volume study for a property owners association in South Carolina. The pond was mapped to understand current water depths and to calculate the amount of accumulated sediment.  This information with assist the POA with future dredge planning.

The Mapping Network completed a bathymetry survey to show the status of a dredging project  for an intake to a power plant.   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.

A partner within The Mapping Network helped a Home Owners Association (HOA) be proactive and monitored the inflow of sediment into their lake based upon five-year intervals.  Comparing water and sediment depth data from 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 the HOA discovered a increase in sediment rate from 2005-2010 due to heavy construction upstream. This data helped the HOA establish baseline information on their lake and aided them with facts for working with developers who were responsible for the sediment.  It…
