Menda (river)

The Menda is a small river located in Latvia. It is a tributary of the Abava River, which eventually flows into the Venta River and then into the Baltic Sea. The Menda is relatively short in length and flows primarily through the Kurzeme region of Latvia. While not a major waterway, the Menda contributes to the overall river system of the area and plays a role in the local ecosystem. Its name is likely derived from a local Baltic language root. Information regarding specific towns or villages located directly on its banks, the river's precise length, drainage basin area, or its economic significance are limited in readily available English-language sources.
