The dolomite at the bottom of the river is a threshold that has always disturbed the deepening of the bottom. The small depth of the bed, the width and the drop greatly restricted the flow of water. In spring, the amount of water flowing in the Aiviekstes upstream is 2 – 4 times the water flow rate. As a result, the waters flowing in the spring of Aiviekstes were flowing not to the Daugava, but back to Luban, which caused great floods. In the rich spring, the lake and the surrounding clan formed a common water body in a large area of 600 km ². It is at least 6 times greater than Lubāns on its natural banks. In order to reduce the flooding, the Aiviekste was deepened and straightened in the last century, but Lubāns was inspired.
