Venta

In its lower course, it is a calm deep river. The high-water level is reached in the spring (a rise of from 2.5 to 7 m), and there are considerable summer and autumn flash floods brought on by rain. The average year-round discharge is 95.5 eu m per sec. The amount of ice cover fluctuates. The river is navigable up to Piltene. The city and seaport of Ventspils is located at the mouth.
