Description
On the basis of bottom samples, the granulometry and the composition of the bottom of the Lower-Zeeschelde is determined. These data are then mapped. more

On the basis of bottom samples, the granulometry and the composition of the bottom of the Lower-Zeeschelde is determined. These data are then mapped. The mapping of the bottom of the lower Zeeschelde needs to be repeated every 5 years, because of the temporal variability of the composition of the bottom sediments. This variation in sediment composition is also seen spatially.

De opnamen van de diepte van de onderwaterbodem worden gedaan bij hoogwater, om ook de oevers zo goed mogelijk in kaart te kunnen brengen. Met de peilvletten, welke een diepgang hebben van ongeveer 1m, en bij een hoogwater van ongeveer 4 à 5 meter GLLWS worden op deze manier meestal diepten opgemeten van de rivierbodem tot 1m à 2m boven GLLWS. Standaard worden deze dieptemetingen uitgevoerd met enkelvoudige echosounders (singlebeam echosounders) met twee frequenties, 33 khz en 210 khz, waarbij
