This presentation is to inform the audience about hydrographic surveying done at Denver Water’s reservoirs. In this presentation, I will show how we collect, process, and use the data. I will discuss the software used such as Hypack software, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and most importantly ArcGIS. We are able to map the depths of the reservoirs to determine water volumes that will be used by Water Recourses Analysis Division.
