| Lake Water Monitoring and Bathymetric Mapping Project |
 For the past ten years lakes in
Western Maine have been the subject of semester-long
research projects by the Aquatic Biology students from
the University of Maine at Farmington. State-of-the Art
water monitoring equipment for used for this purpose and
the information gathered is shared with Maine’s
Department of Environmental Protection and with local
lake associations. Student researchers using GPS/GIS
technology have created high definition depth maps of 14
lakes in central and western Maine. These maps represent
significant improvements over existing state maps, often
being constructed from in excess of 5000 GPS points with
associated water depth readings.
