The electronic depth sounder operates in a similar way to radar It sends out an electronic pulse which echoes back from the bed. The echo is timed electronically and transposed into a reading of the depth of water.
GPS gives the location of each point collected in terms of latitude and longitude. Two locations for differential GPS.
Channel Data
Interpolation
Points are interpolated in ArcMap to produce a continuous surface.
Centerline
Define the centerline along the thalweg of the channel
Measure in ArcGIS
Measures are assigned in meters

A PolylineM can store m-values at each vertex along with x and y coordinates.
Coordinate Transformation
m is measure along the centerline r is distance across the river from the centerline Sinuous river becomes straight when transformed into (m,r) co-ordinates.

An extensive body of experience in terrain processing for hydrology has been built up Standardized national geospatial datasets for hydrology
National Elevation Dataset, EDNA, National Hydrography Dataset, Watershed Boundary Dataset
Integration of vector, raster and time series data in a database management system A language (vocabulary and grammar) for communicating between databases and models e.g. XML
