Water supply lakes are the primary source of water for many communities in northern and western Missouri. Therefore, accurate and up-to-date estimates of lake capacity are important for managing and predicting adequate water supply. Many of the water supply lakes in Missouri were previously surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in the early 2000s (Richards, 2013) and in 2013 (Huizinga, 2014); however, years of potential sedimentation may have resulted in reduced water storage capacity. Periodic bathymetric surveys are useful to update the area/capacity table and to determine changes in the bathymetric surface. Cameron Reservoir Number 3 is a water supply lake used by the city of Cameron in northwestern Missouri. The surface area of Cameron Reservoir Number 3 is about 90 acres at the full pool level of the primary spillway (911.1 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988). A previous bathymetric survey was completed in 2013 (Huizinga, 2014) with a multibeam echosounder. In April 2022, the USGS, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) and in collaboration with the City of Cameron, completed a bathymetric survey of Cameron Reservoir Number 3 using a multibeam echosounder. The water-surface elevation during the survey was about 911.1 feet. The echosounder data can be combined with light detection and ranging (lidar) data to prepare a bathymetric map and a surface area and capacity table for the lake. The gridded bathymetric point data (CameronRes3-2022_bathy_pts.zip) were computed on a 0.82-foot (0.25-meter) grid using the Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator (CUBE) method, which is used as the source of points to create the bathymetric surface. Bathymetric quality-assurance data (CameronRes3-2022_QA_raw.zip) were collected to evaluate the vertical accuracy of the gridded bathymetric point data. Each of these two zip files contains a shapefile with an attribute table. Attribute/column labels of each table are described in the "Entity and attribute" section of the metadata file.
