Lake & reservoir mapping in New Mexico
New Mexico's reservoirs are governed by interstate compacts where storage numbers matter. Our volumetric surveys provide the accuracy those agreements demand.
New Mexico has key Rio Grande and San Juan 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.
