Lake Mapping

Water quality tells us how a lake is functioning below the surface. By tracking conditions throughout the season, we can identify early signs of algae pressure, oxygen depletion and nutrient release before they become major problems. This allows decisions to be based on real data.
The chemistry of the sediments can determine what is happening in the water above it. Sediment fractioning quantifies the total nutrient load and shows how the lakebed is affecting water quality. Mapping and depth measurements identify total accumulation.
Lake mapping provides the foundation for water management. including depth, vegetation and sediment conditions. This information helps guide more accurate management programs while giving property owners a clear way to measure results over time.
Fish Mapping provides abundance maps showing where fish are concentrated and how they are distributed through the lake. By estimating fish count, relative size, and depth range, we establish a clear baseline of the current fish population and measure changes over time.
Effective plant management starts with accurate identification. Aquatic plant surveys indicate which species are present and the location of where each species is growing. This allows control to be targeted and selective while avoiding unnecessary disturbance to the native populations.
Algae identification determines what type of bloom is present. Monitoring cyanotoxins provides the added information needed to evaluate risk and make more confident decisions for the waterbody and possible use restrictions and closures.
