ABSTRACT. Due to high rainfall in 1978, was a landslide that crossed the stream
Cuejdel Stânişoarei Mountains. Slip was favored by a forest road construction.
In a first phase to form a lake of about 250-300 m, 25-30 m wide and 4-5 meters
maximum depth. In the summer of 1991, for the same reasons, took place a further
landslide, which led to the formation of the largest natural dam lake in the
country. Newly formed natural dams present a height between 25 and 30 m, with
higher values to the left and towards the lower right with a total length of 80
m. The lake water has been steadily and stood at an absolute altitude of 665.5 m
(until 1994-1995). As a result of strong floods and widened the opening of the
lake water level dropped. Under these conditions the lake has the following
characteristics: surface area of 12,2 ha, 1,0 km in length and average width of
102 m. After this period morphological and morphobatimetrics studies of the
lake, and on the characteristics of the receving basin were thinning. It aims
the study morphometric and morphographical on modern techniques, of the Crucii
Lake reception. It is envisaged the morphometry and morphological suitability of
the relief with essential role in the genesis of Crucii Lake.
Key words: natural dam lake, receving basin, morphometrics, morphological
