  • This data package includes bathymetric data and watershed delineations for Falling Creek (FCR), Beaverdam (BVR), and Carvins Cove (CCR) Reservoirs, all located near Roanoke, VA, USA. Bathymetric data were collected using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and processed using WinRiver II and ArcGIS. Water level can vary in these reservoirs; at the time of ADCP measurement, maximum depth was ~9.3 m in FCR, ~13.5 m in BVR, and ~23 m in CCR. Bathymetric data are presented in two forms: (1) as hypsometric summaries of surface area and volume for 0.3-1.0 m depth intervals and (2) as spatially-explicit shapefiles (BVR and FCR) and TIN files (all reservoirs). Watershed areas were calculated using the StreamStats basin delineation tool provided by the United States Geological Survey, and are included as shapefiles for each reservoir.
