WHAT DOES WESTERN DVINA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Western Dvina

Daugava River

The River Daugava or Western Dvina is a river rising in the Valdai Hills, Russia, flowing through Russia, Belarus, and Latvia, draining into the Gulf of Riga in Latvia, an arm of the Baltic Sea. The total length of the river is 1,020 km: 325 km in Russia, 338 km in Belarus, and 352 km in Latvia. In the 19th century, it was connected by a canal to the Berezina and Dnieper rivers. The Daugava forms part of the international border between Latvia and Belarus. According to C.Michael Hogan, the Daugava River began experiencing environmental deterioration in the era of Soviet collective agriculture and a wave of hydroelectric power projects. There are three hydroelectric dams on the Daugava River – Rīgas HES just upstream from Riga or 35 km from the mouth of the river, Ķegums HPP another 35 km further up or 70 km from the mouth, and Pļaviņas HPP another 37 km upstream or 107 km from the mouth. A fourth one, Daugavpils HES, has been planned but has faced strong opposition. Belarus currently plans to build several hydroelectric dams on the Belarusian part of Western Dvina.
