Nowadays, any geographical study has its applicability in G.I.S. Between the large number of applications available in G.I.S. software we can find many that deal with elevation changes. Our study takes advantage of such a tool, “Minus tool”, integrated in the ArcMap 9.3© software, to present the elevation changes that occurred in the Firiza zone (near Baia Mare city/Romania) after the construction of the Stramtori dam. In order to obtain a proper result of the analysis, we used two raster layers (Data Elevation Models), both having the same extent, one representing the area before the dam construction, and the other representing the area after the construction was finished. The result revealed a layer (a map) that returned negative values (“-“representing volume loss) and positive values (“+” representing volume gain). Of course, in this study, the output presented the loss of volume where the Stramtori dam was built, and the other areas were given a value of “0” (zero) or very close to “0”, which means “No Change”. We consider this tool to be very useful in studies that want to examine a change in elevation, like the one presented here.Tags: Dam, Elevation, “Minus” tool, GIS, Baia Mare, Romania.
