Lake Mapping and Sediment Analysis in Illinois

The Mapping Network completes project for POA in Illinois using specialized sub-bottom mapping system

A POA is Illinois has been dealing with the challenges associated with sediment buildup in their lake.  Using The Mapping Network’s sub-bottom mapping system, the POA was not only able to see the contours of the lake but gain an understanding of the sediment distribution throughout the lake.   This technology provides critical information for the POA to make educated management decisions about how to best remove the sediment.  Below is one of several maps produced for the POA which shows the sediment depth in a color gradient.   For more information about how sub-bottom/sediment mapping can work for your lake contact The Mapping Network today!

The Mapping Network surveyed the bottom of the lake including the sediment depths.  This map shows the lake water depth as blue contours lines as well as a color shaded sediment thickness.  This specialized technology allows the POA to easily locate problem areas.
