Water resources

Abstract

The change of climatic conditions in Central Lithuania based on the data of Kaunas Meteorological Station is analyzed. The meteorological conditions in 1970-2009 are studied while analyzing the changes in the seasonal distribution of the average air temperature and the precipitation amount in Central Lithuania during the period of four decades (1970–2009), meanwhile each decade has been completely studied. The operation of the drainage and the impact of meteorological conditions on the drainage runoff in different seasons (winter, spring, summer and autumn) are considered.
