Echotrac

Echotrac is a system used in hydrography and marine surveying to measure water depth and bottom characteristics. It employs sonar technology—sound waves sent from a transducer that bounce off the river or ocean floor and return to a receiver. By analyzing these returning sound signals, Echotrac accurately determines the depth and features of the water body below. This data helps in creating detailed maps of underwater terrains, ensuring safe navigation, supporting environmental studies, and managing water resources effectively. Overall, Echotrac provides precise, real-time information essential for understanding underwater environments.
