Water supply lakes are the primary source of water for many communities in northern and western Missouri. Therefore, accurate and up-to-date estimates of lake capacity are important for managing and predicting adequate water supply. Many of the water supply lakes in Missouri were previously surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 2000s (Richards, 2013) and in 2013 (Huizinga, 2014); however, years of potential sedimentation may have resulted in reduced water storage capacity. Periodic bathymetric surveys are useful to update the area/capacity table and to determine changes in the bathymetric surface. In June and July 2020, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and in collaboration with various cities in north- and west-central Missouri, completed bathymetric surveys of 12 lakes using a marine-based mobile mapping unit, which consists of a multibeam echosounder (MBES) and an inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel. Bathymetric data were collected as the vessel traversed longitudinal transects to provide nearly complete coverage of the lake. The MBES was electronically tilted in some areas to improve data collection along the shoreline, in coves, and in areas that are shallower than about 2.0 meters deep (the practical limit of reasonable and safe data collection with the MBES). At some lakes, supplemental data were collected in shallow areas using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on a remote-controlled vessel equipped with a differential global positioning system (DGPS). Bathymetric quality-assurance data also were collected at each lake to evaluate the vertical accuracy of the gridded bathymetric point data from the MBES. As part of the survey at each of these lakes, one or more reference marks or temporary bench marks were established to provide a point of known location and elevation from which the water surface could be measured or another survey could be referenced at a later date. In addition, the elevation of a primary spillway or intake was surveyed, when present. These points were surveyed using a real-time kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver connected to the Missouri Department of Transportation real-time network (RTN), which provided real-time survey-grade horizontal and vertical positioning, using field procedures as described in Rydlund and Densmore (2012) for a Level II real-time positioning survey. Mozingo Lake and Maryville Reservoir were surveyed in June 2020 as part of the group of lakes surveyed in 2020. However, extraordinary interest in the bathymetry at Mozingo Lake by the city of Maryville necessitated these data being released earlier than the other 2020 lakes (Huizinga and others, 2021, 2022). The MBES data can be combined with light detection and ranging (lidar) data to prepare a bathymetric map and a surface area and capacity table for each lake. These data also can be used to compare the current bathymetric surface with any previous bathymetric surface. Data from each of the remaining 10 lakes surveyed in 2020 are provided in ESRI Shapefile format (ESRI, 2021). Each of the lakes surveyed in 2020 except Higginsville has a child page containing the metadata and two zip files, one for the bathymetric data, and the other for the bathymetric quality-assurance data. Data from the surveys at the Upper and Lower Higginsville Reservoirs are in two zip files on a single child page, one for the bathymetric data and one for the bathymetric quality assurance data of both lakes, and a single summary metadata file. The zip files follow the format of "####2020_bathy_pts.zip" or "####2020_QA_raw.zip," where "####" is the lake name. Each of these zip files contains a shapefile with an attribute table. Attribute/column labels of each table are described in the "Entity and attribute" section of the metadata file. The various reference marks and additional points from all the lake

Periodic bathymetric surveys are useful to update the area/capacity table and to determine changes in the bathymetric surface. From July 2019 to June 2020, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and various cities in northwestern Missouri, completed bathymetric surveys of twelve (12) lakes using a marine-based mobile mapping unit, which consists of a multibeam echosounder (MBES) and an inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel.

Bethany New Lake was resurveyed in March 2020 because the original data collected in July 2019 were found to have corrupted position data.

Bathymetry data were collected during a July 2019 SWATHPlus survey of Ozette Lake, Washington. Data were collected and processed by the the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) with fieldwork activity number 2019-622-FA. The 2-m bathymetry data are provided as a GeoTIFF image.

These data are bathymetry (river bottom elevation) in XYZ format (Easting, Northing, Elevation), generated from the September 17–18, 2020, survey of the Kentucky Dam tailwater from just downstream from Kentucky Dam to approximately 1,500 feet upstream from the I-24 bridge (about 1 mile total length). Bathymetric data were collected using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) with an integrated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) smart antenna. The ADCP and GNSS antenna were mounted on a marine survey vessel, and data were collected as the survey vessel traversed the tailwater along planned survey lines. There was typically one reciprocal pair (two passes) of data collected per line. There was a total of 53 survey lines equally spaced 100 feet apart and oriented approximately perpendicular to the primary flow direction. Data collection software integrated and stored the depth and position data from the ADCP and GNSS antenna in real time. Water-surface elevations were measured at each planned line throughout the survey area with a survey-grade integrated GNSS system with real-time kinematic (RTK) observations in order to convert measured bathymetric depths to elevations referenced to NAVD 88. RTK observations were made using the Kentucky Continually Operating Reference System (KYCORS) network operated by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Data processing required computer software to extract the bathymetric data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information.

These data are single-beam bathymetry points compiled in comma separated values (CSV) file format, generated from a hydrographic survey of the northern portion of Lake Calumet in Cook County, Illinois. Hydrographic data were collected July 18-19, 2023, using a single-beam echosounder (SBES) integrated with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) mounted on a marine survey vessel. Surface water elevation data were collected July 18 utilizing a single-base real-time kinematic (RTK)/GNSS unit. Bathymetric data points were collected as the vessel traversed the northern portions of the lake along overlapping survey lines. The SBES internally collected and stored the depth data from the echosounder and the horizontal and vertical position data of the vessel from the GNSS in real time. Data processing required specialized computer software to export bathymetry data from the raw data files. A Python script was written to calculate the lakebed elevations and identify outliers in the dataset. These data are provided in comma separated values (CSV) format as LakeCalumet_SBES_20230718.csv. Data points are stored as a series of x (longitude), y (latitude), and z (elevation or depth) points along with variable length records specific to the data transects.
