Lake & reservoir mapping in Alabama
Alabama's large power-company reservoirs and productive bass lakes make vegetation and habitat mapping especially valuable. We survey Tennessee Valley, Coosa and Tallapoosa impoundments as well as private lakes across the state.
Alabama has more than 500,000 acres of reservoirs. Lake Monitor AI provides on-site bathymetric depth mapping, aquatic vegetation mapping, bottom composition and hardness mapping, fish and habitat mapping, side-scan imagery and GIS deliverables for waterbodies of every size across the state — from private ponds to major reservoirs.
