Lake Mapping in Utah

Lake & reservoir mapping in Utah

Utah's reservoirs are the state's savings account for water. We measure how much is really there and map the shallow, sediment-rich basin of Utah Lake for restoration.

Utah has major storage reservoirs and large natural 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.
