Lietupe

Lietupe is a river located in eastern Latvia. It is a tributary of the Daugava River, one of the largest rivers in the Baltic region. The Lietupe originates in the southeastern part of the country and flows generally westward before emptying into the Daugava. The river's course is characterized by a relatively gentle gradient, with its surrounding landscape comprising a mix of forests, agricultural land, and scattered settlements.

The Lietupe's watershed is part of the larger Daugava basin, contributing to the overall water flow of the Daugava. The river's ecological significance is tied to the biodiversity of its riparian zone and the aquatic life it supports. Like many rivers in the region, its water quality and flow can be influenced by factors such as precipitation, land use practices in its drainage area, and seasonal variations. The river plays a role in the local hydrological cycle and contributes to the natural environment of the region. It is not a major waterway for navigation but is part of the natural landscape.
