Innovative Surveying Techniques for Reservoirs
In a notable project in central China, Hydro-Tech has successfully deployed their MS400U multibeam echosounder on an unmanned surface vessel (USV) to conduct a thorough survey of a large reservoir.
The reservoir, covering an area of 830 square kilometers and holding approximately 300 million cubic meters of water, features intricate underwater landscapes. This survey aims to accurately assess the reservoir’s storage capacity while monitoring erosion and sedimentation levels to inform future dredging operations.

Advantages of the MS400U Echosounder
The MS400U is designed to be lightweight and compact,making it ideal for shallow water surveys without the need for extensive onsite setup. The synergy between the USV and the MS400U is particularly favorable for navigating complex aquatic environments, such as reservoirs.
