Answer from LEGE artis[guru]
If we count the rivers flowing under one name, then Lena: under this name it begins in the Baikal ridge and 4400 km from the source flows into the Laptev Sea. The Lena has tributaries; one of them, Vitim, begins from the confluence of Chyna and Vitimkan. And from the source of the Vitimkan, then along the Vitim and along the Lena, to its mouth there are 4692 km, so it turns out to be almost three hundred kilometers more than along one main river.
It begins from the confluence of the Biya and the Katun; from the source of the Katun to the mouth of the Ob 4338 km. The Ob-Irtysh system was considered the longest river in the USSR, although the sources of the Irtysh (more precisely, the Black Irtysh - as it is called in the upper reaches) were outside the country, in the Mongolian Altai (China). The total length from the source of the Black Irtysh to the mouth of the Ob is 5410 km. Now the Irtysh comes to us from Kazakhstan, crossing the border only a little above the mouth of the Om. But there is another long tributary of the Ob that is often forgotten - the Chulym. If you measure the length of the Ob from the source of the right component of Chulym - the Bely Iyus River, you will get 4565 km - almost the same as from the source of Vitimkan to the mouth of the Lena.
A very long continuous watercourse is obtained along the Selenga, then along Baikal, Angara and Yenisei - 5060 km; but the upper reaches of the Selenga in Mongolia, only 4445 km of this route remain for Russia.
The Amur begins from the confluence of the Shilka and the Arguni. The source of Hailar - as Argun is called in the upper reaches - is 4444 km from the mouth of the Amur, the source of Shilka is 4416 km. But the Amur itself has one and a half times less length - 2824 km. More than a third of the length of Argun is outside Russia ( border rivers are considered everywhere as ours). The longest watercourse of the Amur system runs from the source of the Hailar, which then passes into the Argun, to the mouth of the Amur.
The most long river European Russia and throughout Europe - Volga, 3531 km.
The Don and Yenisei are two great Russian rivers glorified in legends. They carry their mighty waters across great Russia. The Don flows from north to south, and the Yenisei, this Siberian stream, from south to north. It is impossible to underestimate the importance of these rivers for the life of Russians, for Russian industry and for Agriculture. It’s not for nothing that geography lessons always teach about these rivers. And, of course, the question is always asked: “Which river is longer - Don or Yenisei?” Let's say that the length of the Don River is 1870 kilometers, and the length of the Yenisei River is almost twice as long - 3487 kilometers. Thus, the answer to the question: “Which river is longer, Don or Yenisei?” there will be Yenisei.
River Don
The Don River flows throughout the European part of Russia. The beginning of the river is considered to be the Tula region, more precisely Northern part Central Russian Upland. It has been proven that the source of the Don is a stream called Urvanka, located in the eastern part of the park, which in turn is located near Novomoskovsk.
The Don River changes its flow direction four times along its entire course and passes through a number of geographical obstacles. A number of dams are located in the upper reaches, but there are no obstacles downstream after Voronezh.
Current of the Don River
The Don River is considered part of the Atlantic Ocean basin and is divided into three main sections: Upper, Lower and Middle. The Upper Don runs through a very narrow valley, straight from its source, located near Novomoskovsk, to the point of its confluence with the Tikhaya Sosna River. Further, the channel becomes very winding and rivers such as Krasivaya Mechta and Nepryadva flow into it. The middle section of the Don is blocked by a dam, behind which the Tsimlyanskaya hydroelectric power station is located. The Lower Don is distinguished by a very wide valley, reaching twenty to thirty kilometers in diameter. Here Manych and Sal flow into it, and with right side- Seversky Donets.
Geographical objects and shipping on the Don
The regions through which the Don flows are very densely populated: Tula, Lipetsk, Voronezh, Volgograd and Rostov region. The largest cities on the Don, in order from source to mouth, are Novomoskovsk, Zadonsk, Azov, Rostov-on-Don. Also in some of these cities there are large river ports.
The length of the Don River is 1870 km, and the length of the Yenisei River is 3487 km. Thus, the answer to the question: “Which river is longer, Don or Yenisei?” there will be Yenisei.
Yenisei River
The Yenisei is the most abundant river in the entire territory Russian Federation. It carries more than 600 cubic kilometers of water per year into the Kara Sea. The source of the Yenisei is Lake Kara-Balyk, which is located in Sayan mountains. The small river Biy-Khema or the Big Yenisei flows from this lake.
Current of the Yenisei River
Those first 188 kilometers from Lake Kara-Balyk, the Yenisei is called Ulug-Khem, which means Upper Yenisei. Further, in the Tuva Basin, the river is divided into two channels, each of which is filled big amount riffles. In this section the river is very stormy and fast. In some places the width of the Yenisei reaches 650 meters. Further along the river bed lies the Sayano-Shushenskoye reservoir, which arose thanks to the artificial dam of the Sayano-Shushenskoye hydroelectric power station. Downstream, a tributary of the river called Khemchik flows into the Yenisei. The river continues to flow into the Minusinsk Valley, from where it passes through the Mainskaya hydroelectric station. The Yenisei delta begins outside the village of Ust-Port, where the channel divides into four leading branches: the Okhotsk Yenisei, the Bolshoi Yenisei, the Kamenny Yenisei and the Small Yenisei.
Geographical objects and navigation on the Yenisei
The Yenisei River is rightfully considered the most important waterway of the entire Krasnoyarsk Territory, where the main cargo routes from Krasnoyarsk to Dudinka pass, and sea vessels can ascend to the city of Igarka along the river bed. The most major cities along the entire length of the Yenisei are: Kyzyl, Minusinsk, Yeniseisk, Turukhansk. There are also three hydroelectric power stations based on the river: Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP, Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric station and Mainskaya hydroelectric station.
Both rivers are very important waterways, each with a large economic importance for your region.
On the territory of our country there are great amount rivers (2.5 million). Most of them are small, their length usually does not exceed 100 kilometers. Then the question arises: what are the largest rivers in Russia? We will try to answer it in this article.
To begin with, we will present you with a list of these rivers:
- Yenisei.
- Lena.
- Amur.
- Volga.
- Kolyma.
- Khatanga.
- Indigirka.
- Northern Dvina.
Now let's tell you more about them.
River Ob
The largest river in Russia, which is located in Western Siberia. It is formed by the merging rivers Biya and Katun. From the source of the Irtysh its length is 5410 kilometers. In the North it flows into the Ob Bay. The river's water basin occupies a huge area - 2,990 thousand square meters. km. According to this indicator, it rightfully occupies a leading position on our list. In terms of water content, the Ob is in third place, second only to the Lena and Yenisei.
The Ob feeds mainly on melt waters. During the spring-summer flood, the largest river in Russia receives most its annual flow. The flood begins in April upper reaches, in the second half of April it begins in the middle reaches, and in early May this process occurs in the lower reaches. The water level rises even during freeze-up. When the river opens up, short-term minor rises in levels occur as a result of the resulting congestion.
The flood in the upper reaches ends in July. In September - October, a rain flood begins, which continues until freeze-up in the lower and middle reaches. Ice cover remains on the Ob for an average of 220 days a year.
The main tributary of the Ob is the Irtysh. The length of this river from its source, which is located on the border of China and Mongolia, to its confluence with the Ob is 4,248 km.
Fishing has long developed on this river. Also in late XIX century in river waters There were a lot of ruff, perch, sculpin, pike, shokur, muksun, nelma and other types of fish. Today there are fewer fish in the waters of the Ob, but nevertheless there are about 50 species.
Yenisei
Today we present to you the largest rivers in Russia. The list goes on mighty Yenisei. This river is considered the natural border between the West and East of Siberia.
Its length is 4287 km. The Yenisei flows through the lands of two neighboring states - Mongolia and Russia. The total area of the river is 2,580 thousand square kilometers. This indicator allows this huge river to take second place in Russia.
On the left bank of this Siberian river there are plains, and on the right there is endless mountain taiga. In this regard, there is a sharp asymmetry of the banks of the Yenisei. The right bank is more than 5 times higher in height than the left bank. On its way from source to mouth, the river crosses all climatic zones of Siberia. That is why camels are found in the upper reaches of the Yenisei, and polar bears are found in the lower reaches, closer to the ocean.
Lena river
It cannot be said that this is the largest river in Russia, although its size is impressive. The length of the river is 4480, and its total area- 2490 thousand sq. km. The Lena River is rightfully in third place among the large rivers of our country.
The river is mainly fed by water from the melting of glaciers and snow - approximately 50% of total number. Precipitation gives the river about 38% of its water and about 13% is underground recharge, more typical of the upper reaches.
In mid-October, the Lena freezes in its upper reaches. It opens in mid-April. Ice cover remains on the river for about 270 days a year.
Amur
The topic of our article was the largest rivers in Russia. The names of many are known not only to Russians, but also to our neighbors from other countries. For example, Cupid. This is one of the longest rivers in our country and the largest in the Far East. It flows on the border of Russia and China and carries its waters through the territory of Mongolia. The Amur flows into the Sea of Okhotsk.
The basin area of this river is 1,855 thousand square kilometers, and its length is 2,824 km.
Volga
Glorified by poets and composers, which inspired artists to create immortal paintings, this is, of course, the Volga River. And although this is not the largest river in Russia, it is a symbol of our country.
The source of the Volga is located on the Valdai Plateau of the Tver Region. The Volga is considered one of the largest rivers on our planet. The length of the river is 3530 km. Total area - 1361 thousand square meters. km. The river flows through the lands of Russia and Kazakhstan.
Kolyma River
This river is located in Yakutia. Its length is 2,129 km. Water pool - 645 thousand square meters. km. Kolyma was formed as a result of the merger of two big rivers Kulu and Ayan-Yuryakh. The Kolyma flows into the bay of the same name.
Don
This river is considered the oldest in Russia. The Don originates in the Tula region on the Central Russian Upland. Its length is 1870 km, the water basin is 422 thousand sq. km.
The current is very slow, for which the Cossacks call this leisurely and majestic river the “quiet Don”. This is explained by the flat profile in which the channel runs. The slope towards it is quite insignificant, on average this value does not exceed 0.1 degrees. In some areas the width of the valley reaches 13 km. The right bank is steep and high, and the left bank is low.
Khatanga River
This river is located in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Its length is 1636 km. Water pool with an area of 364 thousand square meters. km. It is formed by two rivers Kotui and Kheta.
This river flows through a wide valley in the North Siberian Lowland. There are more than 112 thousand lakes in the Khatanga basin. Their total area is 11.6 thousand sq. km.
Indigirka
In Yakutia, on the slopes of the Khalkan Range, there is the source of the Indigirka River. Its length is 1,726 km, its water basin covers an area of 360 thousand square meters. km. Its source is made up of two medium-sized rivers - Omyokon and Kuidusun.
Indigirka is the coldest river in Russia. IN winter time in the lower reaches it freezes through. In summer, it becomes covered with ice and turns into a sparkling icy stream flowing picturesquely among the mountains. Since the end of September, the river has been frozen in ice, which does not go away until June.
Northern Dvina
Our list of the 10 largest rivers in Russia has come to an end. It is completed by the Northern Dvina, which flows through two large areas- Arkhangelsk and Vologda.
Its length is 744 km, area - 360 thousand square meters. km. At its source the small rivers Sukhona and Yug connect. This northern river famous for the fact that the history of Russian shipbuilding began on it.
Rivers entangle all of Russia like a web. If you count them all down to the smallest one, you get over 2.5 million! But the vast majority of them don’t even have names, so it’s better to pay attention to the largest rivers in the country, not forgetting what you can catch in them, because there are a lot of fishermen in Russia.
1. Lena (4400 km)
The longest river in Russia, and at the same time in Siberia, is the Lena. It is also solid by world standards, since it closes the top ten longest water arteries peace. Lena takes its beginning from a small lake near Baikal, winds a lot through the mountainous Baikal region until it turns north and rushes to the Laptev Sea, where it forms an extended delta. Together with the latter, it has a length of 4,400 km with a basin area of 2.5 million square meters. km, the water flow in the lower reaches is 16,350 cubic meters. m/s. This is the longest Russian river, flowing entirely through the territory of the country, and the largest in the world, completely passing through the territory permafrost. The Lena still remains one of the cleanest rivers in the world. Man has not yet been able to change its course; he has not built a single dam, hydroelectric power station or other energy structures. In areas remote from human activity, you can still drink water directly from the river.
2. Irtysh (4248 km)
Like most of the large rivers of Siberia, the mighty Irtysh from the depths of the Asian continent heads north until it flows into the Ob, being its main tributary. Their joint water system stretches for 5,410 km, which makes it the seventh longest on Earth. But this is not even the main attraction of the Irtysh, but the fact that it has become the longest tributary in the world, since its own length is 4248 kilometers. In this category, it is significantly inferior to second-place Missouri, which has a length of “only” 3,767 kilometers.
Translated from the Turkic language, Irtysh means “digger,” and this reflects the nature of the river, which very often changes its course, undermining the banks. The Irtysh is fueled by melt water and tributaries. But now floods rarely occur here, since several hydroelectric power stations have been built here, the dams of which regulate the release of water.
On our planet there are areas where a person experiences special sensations: a surge of energy, euphoria, a desire to improve or spiritually...
3. Ob (3650 km)
In the northeast of Asia, in the Altai Territory, near the administrative border with the Altai Republic, two mountain rivers Biya and Katun, as a result of which the powerful full-flowing Ob River is formed, the name of which has still not been revealed. The Ob crosses from south to north Western Siberia and after 3,650 kilometers it flows into the Kara Sea, or more precisely, into a long (800 km) gulf called the Gulf of Ob. The Ob has the largest basin in Russia, occupying almost 3 million square kilometers, and in terms of fullness it is second only to the Yenisei and Lena, bringing 12,300 cubic meters of water to the mouth every second.
4. Volga (3531 km)
The great Russian river Volga has over 150 tributaries; few other rivers on the planet have as many. Taking into account average speed With a current of 4 km/h, it is calculated that the water in it reaches the mouth in 37 days. This river even has its own holiday - Volga Day is celebrated on May 20. The entire Volga basin is located on the territory of Russia, it crosses the territories of four republics and 11 regions of the country, and only one small branch of it, Kigach, turns into the territory of Kazakhstan.
And the source of the Volga is located on the Valdai Hills, in the Tver region near the village of Volgoverkhovye. Although not the largest in Russia, the Volga, nevertheless, is largest river Europe. Her pool spans a third European territory Russia, occupying 1,855 million sq. km, and water consumption is 8060 cubic meters. m/s. 9 hydroelectric power stations with reservoirs were built on the Volga; half of the country’s agriculture and industry are served with its water.
5. Yenisei (3487 km)
The Yenisei River appears after the confluence of the Big Yenisei (Biy-Khem) and the Small Yenisei (Kaa-Khem). The Yenisei flows for almost 3.5 thousand kilometers only through the territory of Russia, and before that it winds through Mongolia for another 600 kilometers. At the end of the path it flows into the Kara Sea Yenisei Bay. The source of the Yenisei is located near the geographical center of Asia near the city of Kyzyl, in which there is even an obelisk reminiscent of this.
In terms of basin area (2.58 million sq. km), the Yenisei is second only to the Lena; its water consumption is also large - 19,800 cubic meters. m/s. In three places it is blocked by powerful hydroelectric power stations: Sayano-Shushenskaya, Krasnoyarsk and Mainskaya. As for the name of the river, it is associated either with the Tungus word “enesi”, which means “ big water”, or with the Kyrgyz “enee-sai”, that is, mother river.
The mighty, stormy Yenisei is especially notable for its ice drifts. During the winter, a powerful ice shell grows on the river, from which the river is freed for at least a month. Thousands of tons of ice rush along the river, forming jams here and there that block the flow. As a result, the river overflows its banks and floods the surrounding area. At one time, different cities had to feel the power of this water element - Yeniseisk, Krasnoyarsk, Igarka and Minusinsk.
Russia is huge, Russia is beautiful, Russia is diverse. This is the most big country in the world, with an area of more than 17 million square meters. km. Thanks to the occupied space...
6. Lower Tunguska (2989 km)
This is another Siberian river, which is the right tributary of the Yenisei. Lower Tunguska flows through Irkutsk region And Krasnoyarsk region. It winds for a long time along the middle part of the Siberian Plateau until it comes to the Putorana Plateau. Due to the large number of rapids and whirlpools, navigation along the Lower Tunguska is severely limited. Back in 1911, plans were made to connect the Lena and Lower Tunguska near the city of Kirensk, since here they come together to a distance of 15 kilometers, however, the Lower Tunguska flows almost 85 meters above the Lena, and is also not navigable in this place. Therefore, the construction of a connecting canal between them was abandoned due to the high cost and inexpediency of the project.
7. Amur (2824 km)
The Amur River is international - it flows through the lands of Russia, China and Mongolia, and flows into the Sea of Okhotsk in the area of the Amur Estuary. The length of the Amur is 2824 kilometers, and the basin area is 1.855 million square meters. km with a water consumption of 10900 cubic meters. m/s. The Amur flows through 4 different climatic zones: semi-desert, steppe, forest-steppe and forest; 30 different nationalities live on its banks. There is no clarity regarding the origin of the name of the river, but the most common version is from the Tungus-Manchu words “damar” or “amar”. The Chinese call it the Black Dragon River, but in our country the Amur symbolizes Far East and Transbaikalia.
8. Vilyui (2650 km)
The longest and largest left tributary of the Lena, flowing through the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Yakutia, is called Vilyuy. It has served man since ancient times, giving him water and food. A couple of hydroelectric power stations were built on it. When the intensive industrial development of Siberia began, ecological situation in the Vilyuya basin has worsened, causing concern to the indigenous people.
The territory of Russia is huge, so it is not surprising that dozens of waterfalls are scattered across it, in its most diverse corners. Some of them are so...
9. Ishim (2450 km)
Ishim is the left and longest tributary of the Irtysh; it passes through the territory of Kazakhstan and Russia. According to popular legend, the name “Ishim” comes from the name of the son of the Tatar Khan, Ishim, who drowned in a previously nameless river. But there is also Tatar word“ishimak” meaning “destroying”. There are two reservoirs on Ishim with large economic importance: the water from them is used by the local population; they irrigate fields and gardens.
10. Ural (2428 km)
In the European part of Russia, the Ural River is one of the largest. It descends along the southeastern Black Sea-Caspian slope, running 2,428 kilometers from its very source to its confluence with the Caspian Sea. The area of the river basin is 220 thousand square meters. km. Ural - very winding river, it is usually divided into three segments: from the source to Orsk, the middle from Orsk to Uralsk and the lower from Uralsk to the very mouth. A whole network of reservoirs has been built on this river, which provide much-needed water for industry and agriculture.
