Since the creation of the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) hydrographic survey
program in 1991, over 100 bathymetric surveys of Texas reservoirs have been conducted …

Abstract The Reservoir Sedimentation Survey Information System (RESIS) database,
originally compiled by the Soil Conservation Service (now the Natural Resources …

Because of the increasing use and importance of lakes for water supply to communities, a
repeatable and reliable procedure to determine lake bathymetry and capacity is needed. A …

Quantification of human impact on water, sediment, and nutrient fluxes at the global scale
demands characterization of reservoirs with an accuracy that is presently unavailable. This …

Volume loss in water reservoirs due to sedimentation is conventionally estimated from the
change in bathymetric surveys repeated five or more years apart. Despite many recent …

Abstract INTRODUCTION The Water Resources Division of the US Geological Survey, in
cooperation with State agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water …

The design of monitoring programs often serves as one of the major sources of error or
uncertainty in water quality data. Properly designed programs should minimize uncertainty …

Bathymetric and sedimentation surveys were conducted using a dual frequency (28/200
kHz) echo sounder system in two reservoirs (Lee Creek Reservoir and Lake Shepherd …

A new hydrogeologic database, the HGDB, was developed from a national survey of
National Water Well Association (NWWA) members. The database contains general …

Volume measurements are essential for a wide variety of lake and reservoir applications,
with recent technological and computational advances greatly improving volume estimate …
