RESUMEN
Data from a bathymetric mapping project conducted in seven Israeli coastal micro-estuaries (Lachish, Sorek, Yarkon, Alexander, Hadera, Taninim, and Kishon) is presented. The data were collected by rowing a kayak along an S-shaped track through the estuaries. An echosounder equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit were mounted on the kayak. The data preparation consisted of a) manual removal of outliers, mostly caused by instrument echo in water depths below the instrument's 0.5 m minimum; b) correction of the measured water level to sea level; and c) interpolation of the sampling points into a regular grid using a terrain-following interpolation algorithm. For each of the estuaries, the raw measurements as a text (csv) file and the interpolated data both as a text (CSV) file and a GeoTiff file were produced.
