<div id="ygrps-yiv-1198744511">Remember that Zilupe is a rather small river - about 5 meter broad and<br/>
probably only 2-3 metres deep. It&#39;s a question if it after all has any<br/>
continous thalweg. Neverica is much smaller, probably 1-2 metres deep.<br/>
But Nemunas (ltru) is following the thalweg, so at the bridges there is a<br/>
threedimensional boundary.<br/>

The web page at<br/>
http://home.no.net/enklaver/borders/tf_close-up.htm<br/>
says that the boundaries follow &quot;the middle of the two streams.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
Is this meant to say that the boundaries are median lines, not thalwegs?  I<br/>
know<br/>
that a fluvial boundary typically implies the thalweg, but sometimes a<br/>
treaty or<br/>
other delimitation specifies the median line instead.  I live eleven miles<br/>
from<br/>
a USA state boundary that is the median line of a river.<br/>
