Summary

Bathymetric data from Welsh lakes collated from documentary and electronic sources and re-formatted into a consistent and accessible form and structure.

The data includes transformed raw coordinate and depth data to bathymetric surface rasters at 0.5 m interval polygon shapefiles that can be placed into GIS software with volume/depth and area/depth data for the lakes at the same 0.5 m interval.

The data supplied collates existing bathymetric data to produce a series of GIS layers that display detailed bathymetric maps of Welsh lakes.
