Hydrographic Technology

Hydrographic technology involves the study and mapping of bodies of water, focusing on underwater features like the sea floor, rivers, and lakes. It combines equipment like sonar, satellites, and drones to gather data about water depths, currents, and marine ecosystems. This information is essential for navigation, fishing, environmental monitoring, and coastal management. Hydrographic surveys help ensure safe shipping routes, assess resources, and understand the impact of human activities on water bodies, playing a crucial role in marine science and industry.
