Lake Water Volume Calculation Using Bathymetric Survey, RS and GIS

Abstract

Estimates of lake volume and other morphometric parameters are needed to understand the role of water bodies in territorial resilience to climate change. Modern GIS methods for calculating lake volume improve on more dated technologies, but most of them do require detailed bathymetric data. In this research we describe a method to estimate lake volume with a set of data that consists of a bathymetric survey measurements, a GIS modeling and layer of Svitiaz Lake shoreline derived from remote sensing data.
