Engineering and Design: Hydrographic Surveying (Engineer Manual 1110-2-1003)

This manual provides technical guidance for performing hydrographic surveys that support the planning, engineering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and regulation of navigation, flood control, river engineering, charting, and coastal engineering projects. Accuracy standards and quality control criteria are defined to establish US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)-wide uniformity in performing surveys involving dredging measurement, payment, and acceptance.
