About Lubāns

Lubāns is a lake. Location: Rēzekne Municipality, Latvia. Elevation: 89 m.

From Wikipedia

Lake Lubāns is the largest lake in Latvia (in Latvian: Lubāns, Lubānas ezers or Lubāna ezers). The lake lies in the center of the Eastern Latvian Lowland. It is a shallow drainage lake, fed by the Rēzekne, Malta, Malmuta and Lisiņa rivers and several smaller brooks, with an outflow via the Aiviekste River into the Daugava River. After the damaging spring floods in 1926, several dams and ditches were constructed.
