		The estuarine region of the River Daugava additionally is influenced by working regime of hydropower plant (HPP), connection of the River Daugava with River Lielupe, and with a chain of inland water basins (acting as reservoirs).
		The two-dimensional shallow water model is developed for the lower 15 km of Daugava to investigate the hydrologic regime and wave climate in the Riga Seaport as well as to predict the impacts of the ongoing reconstruction measures on the flow regime.
		The role of the River Daugava as a source of drinking water, the changes in land-use due to the transient socio-economic conditions, changing structure of pollution point-sources are basic reasons for employment of models to forecast the changes in the River Daugava ecosystem.

	Daugava
		The river Daugava constitutes a border between the Eastern and the Western species' area, and in the event of Daugavpils HES construction such a border would be interrupted.
		The steep-bank itself and the attached territory can be called an unique geological nature monument without any exaggerations: at the foot of the steep-bank under the 27 m thick ice-layer and its melting water there is a 200 000 years old layer of inter-glacial peat.
		The place is under the threat of inundation due to construction of HES thus the said specie would then disappear, but the herb represents the group of hydrophites with reduced competitiveness, abiding in locations where the flood-water can flow them into sand.

		The trade route along the Daugava River has historically been the most important of the three routes because it connects to the Volga River and the Dnieper River, which flow into the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea respectively.
		The Daugava River also still serves as an important transportation highway, along with its key role in fishery, hydro- and heat-power engineering, water supply for both the country’s populace and industry, irrigation for agriculture and farming and its recreational use (Fejes).
