Create bathymetry

- DTM collected using LiDAR only capture the surface data – does not penetrate water.
- For adequate model 2D, require entire modelled area – including stream channels
- Requirement : Channel cross-section data plotted

1. Open up RAS-Mapper, Right-click on Geometry file > Edit Geometry


2. Expand XS > Right-click on Interpolation Surface > Compute XS interpolation surface
3. Right-click on Geometry > export layer > Create GeoTIFF from XS (Channel only)
4. Right-click on Terrain > create New Terrain > Import the new channel terrain + existing
terrain.

Result of combined terrain with channel.
