The world beneath the water's surface is a realm of wonder and complexity, and understanding it is vital for the health of our aquatic ecosystems. At WaterVue, our commitment to water quality extends to visualizing the hidden world underwater through the evaluation of various visual parameters.
Our VISUAL data layer allows us to see and track our shorelines like never before. The essential visual parameters we measure, including Sediment (composition, texture, grain size, contaminants), Shoreline Characteristics and Resiliency, Canal Wall Condition, Seabed/Riverbed Characteristics, and more.
These measurements are crucial and the cutting-edge technologies we employ to unveil the secrets of underwater environments.
Visualizing shores and seawalls
Our mission to protect water quality encompasses a range of visual parameters.
Sediment characteristics, including composition, texture, grain size, and contaminants, provide insights into the history and health of water bodies.
Shoreline characteristics and resiliency are critical for habitat assessment and erosion control.
Canal wall condition assessment helps identify potential infrastructure issues.
Seabed and riverbed characteristics are vital for understanding the morphology of aquatic environments.
Measuring these visual parameters is imperative for several reasons.
- Sediment analysis offers clues about past pollution and sedimentation events, which can impact water quality.
- Shoreline characteristics and resiliency are essential for habitat preservation and urban planning.
- Canal wall condition assessment helps ensure the safety and stability of infrastructure.
- Seabed and riverbed characteristics provide critical information for navigation, dredging, and ecological studies.
By measuring and monitoring these parameters, we can make informed decisions about conservation, development, and infrastructure management.
How we visualize our shores
WaterVue utilizes cutting-edge technology and advanced methodologies to measure visual parameters with precision and accuracy.
We employ Bathymetry to map underwater terrain, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) for high-resolution topographic data, sensor technology for real-time data collection, and advanced drone technology for aerial surveys.
These data sources are integrated into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and 3D imaging software, allowing us to create detailed visual representations of underwater environments.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that we can visualize and analyze even the most intricate underwater features.
