Aquaquest was retained by Southern Waters Ecological Research and Consultancy of South Africa to conduct a bathymetric survey of a stretch of the Kafue river and adjacent lagoons in the Kafue flats. The project involved a survey team to travel by boat across a 200 km stretch of river, using a sonar and DGPS to determine depth of the river, its tributaries and lagoons. The information collected was part of a hydrological modelling study to gain insight in the hydrology of the Kafue flats, a protected wetland area.
