Abstract

A new bathymetric map of the Lake of Banyoles (NE-Spain) is presented. Echo-sounding transects identified new bathymetric features. The map locates the 13 bottom springs that are presently known and shows a configuration of the lake in six basins. A morphometrical study based on the new bathymetry is also presented.
