One of the Oldest Village in the Nemunas Delta, Founded in the XV Century
RUSNE village Rusnė - one of the oldest village in the Nemunas Delta, founded in the XV century. This is the only city in Lithuania that is in the island. The modern bridge Atmata not always saves the local population from the spring floods. During the flood 40 thousand hectares of grassland is covered in water. People of Rusnė are kept safe from the floods by mound. Island has a Polders system equipped with 20 water lift stations. At the lake Dumblė the land surface is 1.3 m below sea level. During the summer Rusnė becomes particularly popular place. Tourists are coming not only from Lithuania but also from Germany, Denmark. In 2002, in Rusnė there was established an information center. The old tradition of fishermen revives – there was built and old sailing yawl according to the old drawing. In island Rusnė we can visit the restored church, the old post office, ethnographic K. Banys farmstead, Uostadvaris lighthouse (1876), the first water lifting station (1907). Rusnė - border town – on the other side of Skirvytė there is a region of Kaliningrad, Russian Federation. MINIJA (MINGE, MINE) village Minija is also called "Lithuanian Venice" because of its unique landscape. Village was fist mentioned in 16th century and originates for the river name, but earlier it was called only Minė. Germans called the village Minge. River Minija divides the village into 2 parts, but there are now bridges. Every house in Minija is facing the river and people say, that river is the street there. The town was flooded periodically. In 19th century there were 76 houses and more than 400 people lived in Minija. -

Strophomenide and Orthotetide Silurian Brachiopods from the Baltic Region, with Particular Reference to Lithuanian Boreholes
Strophomenide and orthotetide Silurian brachiopods from the Baltic region, with particular reference to Lithuanian boreholes PETRAS MUSTEIKIS and L. ROBIN M. COCKS Musteikis, P. and Cocks, L.R.M. 2004. Strophomenide and orthotetide Silurian brachiopods from the Baltic region, with particular reference to Lithuanian boreholes. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 49 (3): 455–482. Epeiric seas covered the east and west parts of the old craton of Baltica in the Silurian and brachiopods formed a major part of the benthic macrofauna throughout Silurian times (Llandovery to Pridoli). The orders Strophomenida and Orthotetida are conspicuous components of the brachiopod fauna, and thus the genera and species of the superfamilies Plec− tambonitoidea, Strophomenoidea, and Chilidiopsoidea, which occur in the Silurian of Baltica are reviewed and reidentified in turn, and their individual distributions are assessed within the numerous boreholes of the East Baltic, particularly Lithua− nia, and attributed to benthic assemblages. The commonest plectambonitoids are Eoplectodonta(Eoplectodonta)(6spe− cies), Leangella (2 species), and Jonesea (2 species); rarer forms include Aegiria and Eoplectodonta (Ygerodiscus), for which the new species E. (Y.) bella is erected from the Lithuanian Wenlock. Eight strophomenoid families occur; the rare Leptaenoideidae only in Gotland (Leptaenoidea, Liljevallia). Strophomenidae are represented by Katastrophomena (4 spe− cies), and Pentlandina (2 species); Bellimurina (Cyphomenoidea) is only from Oslo and Gotland. Rafinesquinidae include widespread Leptaena (at least 11 species) and Lepidoleptaena (2 species) with Scamnomena and Crassitestella known only from Gotland and Oslo. In the Amphistrophiidae Amphistrophia is widespread, and Eoamphistrophia, Eocymostrophia, and Mesodouvillina are rare. In the Leptostrophiidae Mesoleptostrophia, Brachyprion,andProtomegastrophia are com− mon, but Eomegastrophia, Eostropheodonta, Erinostrophia,andPalaeoleptostrophia are only recorded from the west in the Baltica Silurian. -

doi:10.5200/baltica.2012.25.06 BALTICA Volume 25 Number 1 June 2012 : 65–76 Spatial and temporal variation in the water temperature of Lithuanian rivers Aldona Jurgelėnaitė, Jūratė Kriaučiūnienė, Diana Šarauskienė Jurgelėnaitė, A., Kriaučiūnienė, J., Šarauskienė, D., 2012. Spatial and temporal variation in the water temperature of Lithuanian rivers. Baltica, 25(1) 65–76. Vilnius. ISSN 0067–3064. Abstract Water temperature is one of the twelve physico–chemical elements of water quality, used for the as- sessment of the ecological status of surface waters according to the Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/ EC. The thermal regime of Lithuanian rivers is not sufficiently studied. The presented article describes the temporal and spatial variation of water temperature in Lithuanian rivers. Since a huge amount of statistical data is available (time series from 141 water gauging stations), the average water temperatures of the warm season (May–October) have been selected to analyse because that is the time when the most intensive hydrological and hydro–biological processes in water bodies take place. Spatial distribution of river water temperature is mostly influenced by the type of river feeding, prevalence of sandy soils and lakes in a basin, river size, and orogra- phy of a river basin as well as anthropogenic activity. The temporal distribution of river water temperature is determined by climatic factors and local conditions. The averages of the warm season water temperature for 41 WGS are 15.1°C in 1945–2010, 14.9°C in 1961–1990, and 15.4°C in 1991–2010. The most significant changes in water temperature trends are identified in the period of 1991–2010. -

The advantages of the region are its relief, nature, clean air and wonderful people. Next to the Baltic Country of Lakes lies a country with a poetic name “Bella Dvina”. This country is located in the area where the river Dvina – Daugava flows, which is well known since ancient times for the trade route “from Varangians to Greeks”. Looking at the map, one can conclude, that inhabitants of three countries – Russia, Belarus and Latvia – can consider the Western Dvina for their own. Its flow begins in Russia, and goes through Belarus. As it flows into Latvia, it is no longer Dvina, but rather Daugava, which then flows into the Baltic Sea. Active tourism throughout the year, fascinating cultural events, and picturesque sceneries – all of this comprises a unique mosaic, which provides true visual and aesthetical enjoyment. We offer you to get acquainted with the Baltic Country of Lakes – Latgale in Latvia, Aukštaitija in Lithuania, as well as the “Bella Dvina” region, which includes Latgale in Latvia and part of Vitebsk region in Belarus. -

These parameters change economic activities causing changes in quantitative constantly under the influence of the complex and qualitative parameters of water resources are variety of factors. The combination of these factors diverse and depend on the physiographic conditions can be divided into climatic and anthropogenic those of the territory, the characteristics of its water differ by the nature and consequences of impact on regime and the nature of the use (Water Resources, water resources (Water Resources, 2012). 2012).

Intra- last 20-30 years are observed. Hydrological regime annual fluctuations occur constantly and for the Neman River basin is determined by the consistently. Secular variations occur slowly and natural fluctuations of meteorological elements and cover quite extensive areas. These variations are anthropogenic factors. In this case the role of the typically quasi-periodic and tend to some constant anthropogenic factors increases every year despite value. Studies show that in historical time these the economic downturn, and inadequate attention to deviations were not progressive.
