Point (XYZ) data from the bathymetric survey were merged with XYZ data collected during a March 2008 aerial LiDAR survey provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District and stored in a feature dataset within the geodatabase.  A terrain (digital terrain model, or DTM) was created from the XYZ data and stored in the geodatabase.  Products derived from the DTM and stored in the geodatabase include a digital elevation model (DEM), a feature class of elevation contours, a table of surface area and storage capacity (volume) of the lake, and a Python script used to incrementally compute the storage capacity.
