Lake Mapping in Louisiana

Lake & reservoir mapping in Louisiana

Louisiana's shallow, vegetation-rich lakes are ground zero for giant salvinia. Our biovolume maps show where it is spreading and where treatment is winning.

Louisiana has more than 1 million acres of lakes and 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.
