If you own lake property, you may wonder why it's important to have the area mapped with GPS technology. After all, it's just water, and perhaps it's deepest in the middle and shallow around the edges. Is it really necessary to know exactly every spot of depth in the lake or pond?
If you plan to maintain a clean pond, free of toxins and obstacle, GPS mapping definitely comes into play. If the lake is used for recreation especially, it's imperative to know what lies underneath the surface so that maintenance efforts are always successful. Reasons to employ GPS mapping for your lakes include:
- Determining high-volume fishing spots and areas of aquatic life
- Spotting underwater obstructions and possible areas for installing underwater lights and aerators
- Determining approaches to a dock area
- Marking potential areas of danger for swimmers
When you contact Virginia Lake Management to handle your
GPS lake mapping, we will assist in any and all lake monitoring, mapping of aquatic vegetation, and analysis of sedimentation for your lake and pond. No matter the size of your water property, we can provide 3-D contour imaging, fly-over video, and virtual 4-D mapping with underwater views. We invite you to contact us today at 888-480-LAKE to learn more.
This sounds fun! Do you dive into the lake to measure the depths? I read somewhere that mapping the area around the lakes also helps in disasters, like in determining if they are flood-prone. What other information could it provide?
