Lake & reservoir mapping in Idaho
Idaho's deep glacial lakes and irrigation reservoirs each need a different survey plan. Our team maps milfoil beds in the panhandle and storage volumes in the Snake River plain.
Idaho has more than 2,000 lakes. 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.
