King City South Lake near King City, Missouri, 2019

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

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 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. King City South Lake is a water supply lake used by the city of King City in northwestern Missouri. The surface area of King City South Lake is about 49 acres at the flood pool level of the emergency spillway (1,034.0 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988). A previous bathymetric survey had been completed at this lake in July 2000 with a single-beam echosounder. In July 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the City of King City, completed a bathymetric survey of King City South Lake using a multibeam echosounder. The water-surface elevation during the survey was about 1031.91 feet. Supplemental data were collected in shallow areas using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on a remote-controlled vessel equipped with a differential global positioning system (DGPS). These 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. These data also can be used to compare the current bathymetric surface with the previous bathymetric surface. Coincident points between the 2000 and 2019 surveys were not found. However, based on a comparison of nearly coincident points between the surveys, the 2000 survey data did not appear to need adjustment to match the elevation and datum of the 2019 survey. The gridded bathymetric point data (KingCitySouthLake2019_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 (KingCitySouthLake2019_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.
