Lake & reservoir mapping in Kansas
Kansas reservoirs are losing storage faster than almost anywhere in the nation. Repeat bathymetric surveys give the state and water districts a defensible sedimentation rate.
Kansas has 24 federal reservoirs and hundreds of state and community 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.
