Abstract

Based on the economic, ecological and social points of view, the polder systems in the Nemunas Lowland are considered to be the unique ones re¬quiring a great deal of annual state subsidies. The article includes the analysis and statistical estimation of maintenance expenses of the polders systems in Silute municipality during the period of 1996-2006 as well as the investigation of the funds distribution on routine repairs, reconstruction and mainten¬ance work. The analysis shows that the statistical average of the expenditure on the pofder systems of Silute district amounts to 2.39+0.48 million Lt a year. The average annual expenses on the pump stations, dikes, ditches and roads during the research period were determined. Financing for the separate polders was allocated irrespective of their area. The moderate positive relationship (r = 0.64) was defined between the highest water level in the Nemunas near Smahninkai and annual expenses for the polder maintenance. The yearly rehabilitation of polders depreciation should be obviously awarded a grant of the amount of not less than 2.49 million Lt. The increase of the finance should be based on the economic necessity. District municipality defines and legitimates the redistribution of the state subsidies due to the demands of economics.
