Abstract
The present lacustrine basin of Cuejdel Lake has been forming in the upper basin of Cuejdiu river at about 1.5 km upstream Cuejdel brook. Its origin is based on a large landslide that produced the rock displacement during the summer of 1991. The morphometric parameters for landslide were extracted from digital terrain model (DTM) and orthophoto plans (Ed. 2012, 2010 and 2006) using GIS software (ArcGIS, Global Mapper and TNTMips). In order to determine the morpho-bathymetric parameters of the lake basin, direct methods were used: Dual Frequency Echo Sounder for bathymetric survey and Leica System 1200 (TCR 1201 and GPS 1200) for aquatic surfaces and shorelines. From measurements made over the entire surface of the lake between 2011 and 2014, approx. 45,000 bathymetric levels resulted, on which several digital elevation models were conducted of the lacustrine depression with 0.25 m/pixel resolution (DEM 2011 and DEM 2014). The bathymetric maps results were used to determine the morphometric (aquatic surface or water mirror surface, length and width of the lake, lake major axis and minor axis, and perimeter or length of shoreline) and bathymetric parameters (actual shape of lacustrine basin, average and maximum depth, average slope of the lake bottom, water volume expressed as the total or partial volumes).
