Lake Mapping in Hawaii

Lake & reservoir mapping in Hawaii

Hawaii's agricultural reservoirs need current capacity and sediment data for dam-safety compliance and irrigation planning. We travel to any island.

Hawaii has a network of plantation-era 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.
