Bathymetric surveying is a specialized technique used to measure the depth of water bodies and map the underwater topography of oceans, lakes, rivers, and other aquatic environments. It typically involves the use of sonar technology, which emits sound waves from a vessel or other platform and measures the time it takes for the waves to bounce back from the seafloor. This data helps create detailed maps and models of the underwater landscape, providing crucial information for navigation, environmental studies, resource management, and the construction of underwater infrastructure. The collected data can reveal features such as underwater mountains, valleys, ridges, and other geological formations.
