The contours were generated from bathymetric data collected during a sedimentation survey conducted during the period January 23 - January 30, 2018 by the Puerto Rico office of the Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The goals of the survey were to determine reservoir infill sedimentation rates, generate a bathymetric map of the reservoir, and create a stage-volume relation. Field techniques used during the survey were similar to those outlined by Soler-L\u00f3pez and Carrasquillo-Nieves, (2001) and Wilson and Richards (2006). A total of 137 planned transect lines were surveyed, and over 269,119 water-depth measurements were made across the reservoir. All water-depth data were collected using a Teledyne-Odom Echotrac CVM depth sounder coupled to a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). Esri ArcGIS, version 10.5 (reference similar to that in metadata for point shapefile), was used to edit the depth data and create a triangulated irregular network (TIN) model, from which bathymetric contours and a stage-volume relation were generated. \nReferences: Soler-L\u00f3pez, L.R., and Carrasquillo-Nieves, L.R., 2001, Sedimentation survey of Lago Carite, Puerto Rico, October 1999: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 00\u20134235, Wilson, G.L., and Richards, J.M., 2006, Procedural Documentation and Accuracy Assessment of Bathymetric Map and Area/Capacity Tables for Small Reservoirs, U.S. Geological Survey-Scientific Investigation Report 2006-5208, 24 p.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P98B49LM", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.5e42bb7ae4b0edb47be844c8.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5e42bb7ae4b0edb47be844c8", "keyword": ["Bathymetry and Elevation", "Lago Carite", "National Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)", "Small-scale Datasets - Contours", "USGS:5e42bb7ae4b0edb47be844c8", "bathymetry", "bathymetry measurement", "contouring", "single beam sonar", "water depth"], "modified": "2020-08-12T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-66.107091298, 18.059380043, -66.091520934, 18.085673468", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Data points, corresponding to the bathymetric survey of Lago Carite, Puerto Rico, January 2018"}
