Lake Mapping in Texas

Lake & reservoir mapping in Texas

Texas relies on surface-water reservoirs more than any other state. Our volumetric and vegetation surveys give river authorities, utilities and lake associations current numbers.

Texas has more than 190 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.
