"In recent years there has been an increasing demand for more complete and accurate information on hydrological and geomorphological processes in Canadian waters. Obtaining this type of information requires collection of massive amounts of data, rapid editing of all data and careful analysis of the results. To cope with these demands, the Sediment Survey Section of the Applied Hydrology Division has developed an automated high-speed data collection and processing system (HYDAC-100) and a computerized data reduction and analysis system (HYDRA). This paper provides information on the development and description of the HYDAC-100 system, a description of the survey methods to which the HYDAC system may be applied, the typical HYDAC-100 survey procedure, the development and description of the HYDRA system and an outline of possible future developments"--Abstract, p. vii.
