Sügavusmärgid

Sügavusmärgid, also known as depth markings, are visual indicators used to denote the depth of water. These markings are crucial for navigation, safety, and various underwater activities. They are commonly found on boat hulls, docks, swimming pools, and in underwater charting.

The design and placement of sügavusmärgid can vary depending on their purpose and location. In nautical contexts, they are often painted or affixed to the exterior of a vessel's hull, indicating how much of the boat is submerged at its waterline. This information is vital for understanding a vessel's draft and avoiding grounding in shallow waters. On docks and piers, depth markings help boaters determine safe mooring depths.

In swimming pools, sügavusmärgid are typically painted onto the pool floor or walls, clearly indicating the transition from shallow to deep ends. This serves as a safety measure, alerting swimmers to changes in depth. Underwater mapping and charting systems also utilize depth markings to represent the topography of the seafloor or lakebed, aiding in navigation and scientific research. The units of measurement for sügavusmärgid can include meters, feet, or fathoms, depending on regional standards and the specific application.
