Bathymetric data requires some spatial processing on QGIS to represent lake bottom elevation contours and lake depth. This tutorial shows the complete procedure to analyse a bathymetric survey on the Lake Patillas in Puerto Rico with QGIS to generate:

  • Lake bottom DEM

  • Lake bottom contours

  • Lake depth DEM

  • Lake depth contours
