Bathymetry, Stage-Area, and Stage-Volume Tables for the Calaveras Reservoir, California, 2019 (ver. 2.0, March 2025)
November 21, 2022
Dataset contains reservoir bathymetry and shoreline topography up to dam crest elevation. Data were collected using small uncrewed aerial system (sUAS), multibeam sonar, and terrestrial lidar.
Version 2.0
The multibeam sonar & terrestrial lidar data in version 2 was reprocessed for higher accuracy. 1-meter lidar data for 2020 from the USGS 3DEP program was used around the shoreline of the reservoir. Additionally the final Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was created using the ArcGIS Pro Topo to Raster tool which creates a hydrologically correct surface, where as the initial version of the DEM was created using the ArcGIS Pro Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) tool.
Changes from previous version:
1) Final Bathymetric DEM created using Topo to Raster instead of IDW.
2) Reprocessed multibeam sonar and terrestrial lidar.
3) 1-meter lidar data for 2020 was used around shoreline (previous version used 2019 10m DEM from the USGS National Elevation Dataset)
4) Revised contours and stage-area and stage-volume tables were created from the updated DEM
