List of rivers of Lithuania

The highest density is in the Samogitian Highlands where it rains more often and in the northern Lithuania where the soil has clay and it does not allow the water to drain underground.

The lowest density is in the southeastern Lithuania where the soil has a lot sand and the rainwater quickly ooze into the underground.

Nowadays floods are controlled by dams and also due to drainage most rivers have lower water levels than they used to have.

In the western Lithuania rivers tend to irregularly flooded during the fall because of excessive rains.

In the eastern Lithuania rivers tend to discharge a constant amount of water because they are regulated by flow-through lakes and sandy soil, which quickly absorbs any excess rain or snow water.
