Lake & reservoir mapping in Ohio
Ohio's shallow state-park lakes are battling algae and sediment. Depth and bottom-composition maps support dredging programs and restoration planning.

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.
