		The river Shkumb separates the northern from the central district, the Viossa the central from the southern.
		The rivers, as a rule, flow from east to west; owing to the rapidity of their descent none are navigable except the Boyana and Arta in their lower courses.
		A proposal to confine the Drin to its former course by means of a dyke, and to ease the downflow of the Boyana by a canal opening navigation to Lake Scutari, has long been considered by the Turliish authorities.

	Albania - Drainage
		An extensive portion of the basin of the Drini i Bardhë River, called Beli Drim by Serbs, basin is in the Kosovo area, across Albania's northeastern border.
		The precipitous fall from higher elevations and the highly irregular seasonal flow patterns that are characteristic of nearly all streams in the country reduce the economic value of the streams.
		These rivers drain the southern regions and, reflecting the seasonal distribution of rainfall, are torrents in winter and nearly dry in the summer, in spite of their length.

		From the ground, it looked as though the two aircraft were disappearing over the hills to the south of the Drin river, but they reappeared again at the end of a long, jagged river valley leading back to the nearby town of Kukes.
		For the Serb troops on the opposite bank of the Drin, the time it took for the bombers to appear, disappear and reappear five times must have seemed like a stomach-churning eternity.
		All day, the sky over the Drin river reverberated to the sound of prowling aircraft.

		A charming recent legend recounts that when Ottomans invaded in the 14th century a Princess Argyro jumped from the highest tower of the castle of Gjirokastër with her very young son, to escape seizure by the Turks.
		The old part of the town, with charming and characteristic Balkan-Ottoman houses, many with rooves composed of expertly-cut shale stone, surrounds the citadel and overlook the grim Communist-built slum-suburbs and the flood-plain of the Drin.
		Approaching Gjirokastra from the south (the only road runs north along the river valley) and about a kilometer from the lower town is a fine stone bridge over the Drin, built early in the Ottoman period.

		This "Albanian Gap", created by the Drin river and extending on the Adriatic coast from Scutari to Alessio or S. Juan di Medua, has already played a considerable political rôle, and may be destined to play a much larger one.
		There is a fairly wide gap north-east of Fiume, and a well-marked one, already referred to, where the Drin has forced its way to the sea Otherwise the coastal range runs almost continuously parallel with the shore, and, what is more important, generally close to it.
		North of it all the rivers, such as the northern or white Drin, the Morava, the Isker, and the Vid, empty into the Danube; south of it the Vardar, the Struma, and the great Maritza system all flow into the Aegean.
