Uncover What's Below the Water's Surface with Lake Mapping

Understanding the exact surface area of your waterbody is one of the first steps in developing a lake or pond management plan. Surface mapping utilizes GPS software and satellite imagery, which enables a SOLitude specialist to determine a waterbody’s surface area. It’s also important to identify the locations of the physical and structural components of your waterbody, such as inlet and outlet structures, fountains, aeration systems, and fish habitats.

Bathymetric Studies

Bathymetric mapping involves the use of integrated GPS and depth-sensing technology to create a three-dimensional model of your waterbody. As a result, this model has detailed bottom contours and highly accurate volume calculations. This information is vital to managing water quality, aquatic plants, algae and other aquatic life in your ecosystem.

Sediment Analysis

Accumulation of sediment on the bottom of your lake or pond is inevitable. However, the rate at which it will accumulate is highly variable, and in many instances within the control of the lake or pond owner. To accurately determine this sediment accumulation in your waterbody, when it will need to be removed and the cost associated in doing so, bathymetry is a must. We recommend having a bathymetric study and sediment analysis performed every three to five years. Data collected will serve as a baseline for owners and lake managers to help establish an accurate budget and timetable for potential dredging projects.

Lake Mapping and Bathymetric Data can be utilized to:

  • Develop programs to manage your aquatic vegetation or algae issues.
  • Strategically place structural fish cover.
  • Plan and budget for future sediment removal.
  • Properly size and place aeration devices.

Detailed Maps Help Better Understand Your Aquatic Ecosystem

The maps provided by SOLitude Lake Management Company are for informational purposes only, designed to be used by our clients to evaluate their lakes and ponds to better understand the characteristics of these waterbodies and properly plan for achieving their management objectives. We are not licensed surveyors or engineers and our maps are not designed to delineate property lines or legal boundaries of any sort, nor should they be used for any purposes related to circumstances for which a licensed surveyor or engineer is required. For those clients whose work would legally require stamped drawings from licensed surveyors or engineers, we have strategic partnerships with survey and engineering firms with which we can work to help you meet your overall objectives.

My Pond Is Finally Nice to Look At

This company is amazing! I called and explained the issues I was having with my pond, and Josh came out and assessed my pond. After doing so, he was able to put together a regiment that helped bring my pond back to where it is nice to look at! I would recommend this company to all of my friends and family!

Created An Oasis All Can Enjoy

Our community has a one-acre pond that SOLitude has managed for our 200 homes development. They have done a fine job in maintaining the health of the pond so that people can fish and enjoy the surrounding area, wildlife, and gardens. It is a true oasis in a declining area of green spaces for all to enjoy.

SOLitude Came to Our Rescue

When SOLitude came to our rescue, our pond was covered in water lettuce. As each month went by, the pond became clearer and clearer until now it is completely clear and I am completely grateful that the beautiful, clear pond that was there when we moved in 36 years ago, is once more. Thanks to Mike and everyone at SOLitude who made this possible!

Pleasure to Work With

For the past 2 years as a member of our neighborhood board, I worked personally with Mitchell of SOLitude Lake Management. Our neighborhood has over 40 lakes & ponds. I can honestly say it was a pleasure to work with this vendor. Mitchell provided weekly updates and as our aquatics expert, he helped educate us and assisted in developing a restorative approach to our lake & pond management. It was a pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable representative. Thanks!

Highly Recommend SOLitude

SOLitude services all the water, weed, and algae requirements for our Condominium Lake which 7 buildings back up to. Our Aquatic Specialist Ean does a fabulous job taking care of all our needs and has many owners complimenting on how great our water looks. Ean is just a phone call away and shows up immediately. He is always friendly and very knowledgeable and takes care of the issues. I would highly recommend this company to anyone for your lake water needs.

From Swamp to Beautiful Water

For about 30 years I watched the encroachment of weeds across my pond, limiting not only our recreational use but our aesthetic appreciation as well. SOLitude Lake Management came in with their hydro-raking harvester and clear it all out! It was the first time I could swim across the entire pond! No swamp, just beautiful water that passers-by slow down to look at.
