The Šventoji (
The Šventoji passes through the cities of Anykščiai, Kavarskas and Ukmergė. In 1963–1964 a dam near Kavarskas was built to replenish the Nevėžis using water from the Šventoji. However, the dam is no longer used as it is too expensive, ineffective, and violates environmental regulations of the European Union.[3] In 1959 the Antalieptė Reservoir, the second largest artificial lake in Lithuania, was built on the Šventoji.[2]
