Lake & reservoir mapping in Indiana
Indiana's northern natural lakes and southern reservoirs are managed by active lake associations and utilities. We supply the vegetation and depth data behind their management plans.
Indiana has more than 450 natural lakes plus major 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.
