interglacial epochs, on which the rivers must to have had big amount of the water <strong>and</strong> so, must to<br />

be grown the their abrasive power.<br />

It is clear, that in this forming have influenced <strong>and</strong> the presence of the elevator movements.<br />

According to mainly, geomorphologic character we have: today Quaternary depositions (where<br />

are included the bed depositions, the gritty earth of the rivers <strong>and</strong> today alluvial fields), the upper<br />

Pleistocene depositions (the deposition of the firs terrace level), the middle Pliocene depositions<br />

(the depositions which construct the second level of the terraces), the deposition of the lower<br />

Pliocene (deposition which construct the second <strong>and</strong> third level of the terraces), the Plio-<br />

Pleistocene depositions (river <strong>and</strong> lake facies).<br />

The age division, are supported in the fact of the paleogeographic development, after three main<br />

sedimentary fazes: the lake faze (lower-middle <strong>and</strong> partly upper Pleistocene), the river faze<br />

(lower-middle-upper Pleistocene included <strong>and</strong> Holocene). The fact of the river depositions<br />

placement (terraces) up to deposition of the lake-river facies less deformed from the Vallahe<br />

folding.<br />

The strong turns as like as elbow in southern-western direction what the Devolli river gets in<br />

Gostima of Elbasan <strong>and</strong> Vjosa river in Kelcyra, happen from the presence of a lake in Elbasani–<br />

Cerrik region, in Quaternary period, with the elongate as a tongue in Mollas- Selite direction.<br />

So the Devolli River, during Quaternary is poured in this lake <strong>and</strong> only in the end of Pleistocene<br />

or in the beginning of the Holocene has got the turn to southwest, while the Kelcyra neckb<strong>and</strong> is<br />

formed in a antecedence, so, the Vjosa River, during Quaternary has crossed in the way, in today<br />

direction.<br />

After geo-geomopholocical features, the walleyes of the Albanian rivers have favorable<br />

conditions for the constructing of the hydropower works, also after these conditions <strong>and</strong> results<br />

from complex works, has the premise for the placers.<br />

The alluvial depositions, almost the all kinds, have water- bearing capacity, with very importance<br />

for the water-drinking industry.<br />
