Abstract

This project is purposely to develope a system to obtain a seabed mapping for Tasik Ayer Keroh, Melaka. The study is initiated by identifying the appropriate techniques to achieve the objectives of the study. Various techniques can be used to study the seabed mapping. In this study, the technique used is the Echo Sounding detection. A tranduser is functioning as a tool used to detect the depth. Sensor used is a type of sonar sensors. Sonar sensor has a transmitter that serves to transmit signals in pulse and receiver which serves to receive a reflected signal with the echo technique. The distance is determined by the speed reflection of the signal to the sonar sensor multiplied by the time taken. In determining the efficiency of the chosen tool, tests were performed in advance. Three pools are used to test this tool. Once satisfied with the results of these three tests, then this tool is used to measure the depth of Tasik Ayer Keroh.Readings are taken for three lines which are line one, line two and line three. After that, the graphs are plotted for the three lines to see the difference in depth. There are a variety of interests and benefits from the detection of this depth at the lake. Among them is determining the appropriate water activity that suitable with the depth of the lake.
