Abstract: Detailed knowledge about river bathymetry is required to solve some of the present-day challenges of hydraulic engineering. Airborne Hydromapping (AHM) is a unique method used to derive detailed and extensive bathymetric data for shallow water bodies with the help of a newly developed water-penetrating laser system (green wavelength). Airborne Hydromapping enables the fast and economic monitoring of vast water bodies with an accuracy of less than 10cm. Consequently AHM-data offers especially high potential for evaluating fluvial processes and prospective 2D-and 3D numerical simulations.
