Abstract

The presented paper shows a combination of different methods and techniques for high precision depth measurements. The results show the procedures for collecting field data from the bathymetric measurement campaign of August 2018, developed along the lower course of the Danube. Measurements were made over a total distance of 20 km. The main purpose of the measurements is to create bathymetric maps and to generate depth maps. To achieve the main purpose of this research paper, single beam bathymetric measurements were made, and they were combined with GPS RTK mode determination, in local Stereo 70 coordinate system. Repeated measurements in different quarters of the year will determine the morphometric changes in time of the riverbed on this study area. Furthermore, based on the bathymetric maps, in the future, a coherent river terrain model can be created, and it can be used for other purposes, like 1D/2D or 3D hydrodynamic modeling and flood inundation mapping.
