Morphometric assessments of some lakes from the mining area of Aghireşu village – Cluj County
Abstract: In the vicinity of Aghireşu village - Cluj County, in the area of former kaolin and quartz sand mining have occurred a series of micro-depressions due to specific mining activities, which were later filled with water. These lakes have multiple origins, being formed by the collapse of the former underground galleries and fill with water from surface excavations. The number of lakes is quite large, but only few have a significant size. In our study, we have analyzed three major water units, yet non-evaluated before, located in the eastern part of Aghireşu quarry, on the road route to the village of Corneşti. Lakes don’t have a name of their own and were encoded as follows: 1E, 2E and 3E, after the quarry section where they are located. Morphological observations and morphometric values were obtained from several field trips, conducted in the summer of 2009. The field values were obtained by using a GPS Explorist 600 and by bathymetric measurements. These values were then processed by several programs: ITNConv, Global Mapper and ArcGIS. The results highlighted the morphological aspects of the lacustrian depressions and their morphometric values, which can be used in studies of rehabilitation and recovery of the area.
