Figure 18. Twenty metre contour information for Lake Waiwiri site (lake pictured in centre with general transect space outlined.) Original 1:100000 @ A4. Image by author Figure 19. One metre contour information is generated through personal knowledge of contouring land, and by using the transect to the south (outlined) which had been surveyed to 1m contour heights as a reference. Information of dunes becomes much more comprehensive and dense at this level. (lake pictured in centre with general transect space outlined.) Original 1:100000 @ A4. Image by author Figure 20. When coloured, information becomes layered even more densely, giving a sense of the height to each dune where there is a large transition through colours. The transect to the south (outlined) was again used as a reference for identifying which contours would respond to which height+colour. (lake pictured in centre with general transect space outlined.)
