Lanë
River in Albania / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lanë (Albanian definite form: Lana) is the main stream that crosses through Tirana, the capital of Albania. Its source is in the mountains east of Tirana. Although once clean, it now carries sewage. During the 1990s, many illegal kiosks and buildings were constructed on the banks of the river. They were later demolished and removed in a campaign by Tirana's then-mayor Edi Rama in the early 2000s. No fish live there now due to the high pollution of its waters. The Lanë flows into the Tiranë River near Bërxullë.
