Introduction
Hydrographic survey includes all types of
hydrological observations which are necessary
for the design of hydraulic, or marine
structures.
For example
Dam, Barrages, weirs and cross drainage works.
Design of ports, docks harbours, light houses
Purpose of Hydrographic survey
• To prepare nautical charts for navigation.
• To determine the quantities of subaqueous
excavation.
• To measure areas subjected to scouring or silting
in harbors and docks.
• To undertake underwater investigation to collect
data for designing port and harbour facilities.
• To plan engineering projects such as bridges, dam
and reservoirs.
Purpose of Hydrographic survey
• To locate rocks and other objects such as
buoys, lights, etc to aid safe navigation
• To control floods, and to plan water supply
and storage from rivers
• To determine the shorelines of water bodies.
• To collect data about tides and determine the
mean sea level
• To collect discharge data by measuring flows
in rivers, etc.
Operation Involved in Hydrographic
Survey
• Hydrographic surveying are carried out for one
or more of the following activities.
• Sounding rod
• Sounding cable
• Echo sounder
Sounding boat with rod
Sounding boat with lead line
Eco Sounder
Methods of Locating Sounding
From the shore
Location by Tacheometer
Location by two angles from the shore
Location by Range and One angle from the shore
From the boat
Location by two angle from the boat
Location by Range and One angle from the boat
From both the shore and the boat
Location by One angle from the shore and from the boat
Location by Range and Time Intervals of the boat
Location by Intersecting Ranges
Location by range and one angle from
shore
Location by two angles from the shore
Location by one angle from shore and
one from boat
Area of River/ Stretched Wire across

Area of River
Calculation of Discharge
Discharge Q= A x V cumecs
Where
A= Area in m2
V=Velocity in m/s
