Nutrient load
A total of 56% of the total nitrogen discharge
from the Lielupe basin in 2000 originated in Lithuania, and the
transboundary pollution has been decreasing during the past three
years.
About half of the total phosphorus discharge to
the Lielupe basin in 2000 originated as transboundary pollution.
Nutrient concentrations
During the past three years, the total nitrogen
concentrations in the Mūsa and Mēmele Rivers, tributaries of the
Lielupe, have been decreasing at monitoring stations near the
border, and in 2000 they were 3.85 and 2.10 mg/l, respectively.
Also the total phosphorus concentrations in the Mūsa
and Mēmele Rivers by the Lithuanian border have been decreasing,
reaching 0.116 and 0.045 mg/l, respectively, in 2000.
