Liimajõgi

Liimajõgi is a river in Estonia. The name includes jõgi, the Estonian word for river, indicating its nature. The specific etymology of Liima as the first element is not widely documented in English-language sources and may reflect local place names or older Estonian forms.

The river belongs to the Baltic Sea drainage basin, as do most Estonian rivers. Its course traverses the Estonian landscape, characterized by mixed forests and agricultural land. Like many rivers in the region, Liimajõgi has a relatively lowland, meandering channel and experiences seasonal variation in flow, with higher discharge in spring due to snowmelt and rainfall.

Ecology and use: Liimajõgi supports freshwater habitats typical of Estonian rivers and provides ecosystem services associated with small to medium-sized streams, including habitat for aquatic and riparian life and contributions to local biodiversity. The river is used for recreation in suitable sections, such as fishing or small-scale boating, and it plays a role in regional water management and land-use planning.
