SIM2012-3213 Bathymetric Contours of Breckenridge Reservoir, Quantico, Virginia
Description
Bathymetric data were collected using a boat-mounted Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS),
a type of differential global positioning system, echo depth-sounding equipment, and computer
software. Data were exported into a geographic information system and converted into a point layer.
These data points were used to create a triangulated irregular network (TIN) from which 2-foot
contours were created. The contours were then clipped with a manually digitized outline of the
reservoir shoreline and edited for errors. The resulting data was used for mapping purposes and
for calculating area and volume statistics.
