LielupeThe Lielupe River basin encompasses 10,690 square kilometers within Lithuania.[1] The Lielupe flows northward into Latvia and into the Gulf of Riga, a bay of the Baltic Sea. Its tributaries include three rivers that rise in Lithuania (the Svete, Mūša, and Nemunėlis (Mēmele)).[1] VentaThe Venta River rises in Lithuania, flows northward into Latvia, and discharges into the Baltic. It drains 5,930 square kilometers within Lithuania.[1] Pregolya RiverThe Pregolya River (also known as the Pregel) flows in southwestern Lithuania near its border with the Kaliningrad Oblast, later entering the Baltic via the Vistula Lagoon.
