The study first briefly deals with the surveying principle of sonar devices used in practice for underwater depth measurements. After that, it describes both single-beam and multi-beam ultrasonic measurements and the disadvantages and advantages associated with their use. Then, in connection with the bed survey of a mining pond, the authors undertake a comparative study of the two survey methods, giving and illustrating their results and evaluating the experiences obtained from the research task.
