The largest water arteries
A large number of people live along the banks of the rivers, which often become the only means of subsistence for the population: they are sources of drinking, food and energy. Industrial enterprises, river ports operate smoothly, and they also carry a significant supply of fresh water. Russia is a country rich in water resources. It is difficult to count how many rivers there are in Russia.
Important! According to experts, in the territory Russian Federation there are up to 2.5 million rivers. A special catalog has been compiled, where all of them are arranged alphabetically for easy search.
.The table shows the longest and full-flowing:
Large rivers differ not only in names, but also in length, area, speed and type of flow, landscapes, inhabitants and fauna, and among them there are clear “record holders”. Each of them is unique in its own way.
The longest river in Russia is the beautiful Lena. It is believed that she is the fastest. Its length is 4400 km, and the basin area is 2,490,000 sq. km.
It originates not far from, and the mouth is located in the Laptev Sea in Yakutia. The main tributaries are Mama, Aldai, Chaya, Vilyuy. It is ranked 10th in the world in terms of total length and 8th in terms of full water.
It feeds mainly on melt and rainwater. Flowing through the area Irkutsk region, the Republic of Yakutia, its beauty is admired by the inhabitants of Transbaikalia, the Khabarovsk Territory and Buryatia. The pool is located entirely in Russia.
Its resources are truly inexhaustible.: there have never been dams here, so there is enough food for fish in the water and comfortable living conditions have been formed. The flora and fauna are the richest, even species listed in the Red Book live here: Siberian sturgeon, sterlet. And on the banks there is a beautiful national park "Lena Pillars", which is often visited by foreign tourists.
The smallest and meanest
Now let's see what it's called the shortest river in Russia. The opposite of Lena is Reiroa, which is located in Abkhazia in the Gagra region and is a champion. The length of the river is only 6-17.7 m - these are the smallest indicators in the world, depending on the time of year and the proximity of the coastline. It feeds on the waters of the underground cave Krubera-Voronya, so the water temperature is constantly low and equal to 11 degrees even in summer.
The rivulet is quite full-flowing, the water flow is about 2 cubic meters per second, and not a single case of its drying up has been recorded. It is a current from a karst cave that crosses the beach and flows into the Black Sea.
The most meandering river in Russia, the Pyana, with the largest the number of turns, loops, bends. It is located in the Nizhny Novgorod region and in Mordovia. The length is about 400 km, while the distance from the beginning to its end is no more than 60 km. A large number of tributaries flow into Piana, the largest of them are:
- Vadok,
- eat,
- kelya,
- couples,
- Rauja.
The width changes along the entire length, at the source it is equal to 90 m, in the middle - about 50 m, and towards its end - 10-20 m. The average depth is 3 m, and in the deepest places it reaches 6 m. The banks are rather steep, with cliffs, high. Not far from the village of Pilekshevo there is an interesting and even mysterious place - Devil's Turn. Here the channel turns sharply by 90 degrees, and at this turn a small stream flows into Piana.
Attention! locals attributed to the area near Piana mystical properties associated with the appearance of evil spirits on the banks and other mysterious events.
Numerous settlements are located along the coast, as well as the famous Ichalovsky forest with karst caves, and the Ichalkovskaya hydroelectric power station was built in the Perevozsky district in the village of Ichalka.
Let's climb the mountains
Consider, How are mountain rivers different? Their main feature is the speed of the current, they do not form large valleys and meanders, but flow, as a rule, along mountain gorges with steep banks.
Most are born in and only then descend to the plains.
They are characterized by a slope, a large number of waterfalls and rapids.
In our country, very many rivers are mountainous, and even more rivers are mountainous in only one part, and having descended into meadows and steppes, they become flat. On a territorial basis, they are divided into:
- Crimean,
- Ciscaucasian,
- North Caucasian,
- Far East,
- East Siberian.
In the mountainous part of the Crimean peninsula, the river system is very developed, from its southern part the drains are short, stormy, with many waterfalls: Uchan-Su, Uzkn-Bash. In the western part Belbek, Chernaya, Alma, flowing into the Black Sea.
The Stavropol Upland divides the entire water system of the region into the western group of the Sea of Azov and the eastern group belonging to the Caspian Sea. The most famous and largest in the Caucasus are the Kuban and the Terek. They start in the mountains, near the Kuban, not far from the famous Elbrus, and the Terek is on Mount Zilgahokh. Less extended: Kagalnik, Beisug, Chelbas, Kuma.
The Far Eastern rivers are also interesting for their nature of the flow. The famous Amur in the upper part is mountainous, flows through rocky gorges and develops great speed current, gradually decreasing towards the city of Blagoveshchensk. On the ridges of the Sikhote-Alina many mountain streams flow from the eastern side, the largest is Tumnin, 270 km long. On the northeast coast there are numerous rivers flowing down from the ridges: Anadyr, Okhota, Uda.
Most of the rivers of Eastern Siberia are mountainous. Such is the handsome Yenisei, Lena, Indigirka, Kolyma. Replete with rapids, whirlpools.
Central part of the country
Among the rivers of the European part of Russia Volga dominates. In this area are the most famous and large rivers with ancient history rich in flora and fauna.
The Volga, of course, is considered the largest, its length is 3888 km, its area is 1360 square meters. km. It is clearly visible on the map. It starts on a hill from an underground source, flows into the Caspian Sea.
The Volga has a lot of tributaries, 200 streams and rivulets, the largest of them are the Kama and Oka. Artificial reservoirs and hydroelectric power plants are installed here:
- Kuibyshevskaya.
- Volgograd.
- Cheboksary.
On the banks of the Volga there are protected natural and national park Samarskaya Luga. Conditionally The Volga is divided into 3 parts:
- top,
- average,
- lower.
The upper section flows in the forest area from the beginning of the Volga to Nizhny Novgorod, the middle part flows mainly through the forest-steppe and steppe, and the lower one - in the conditions of semi-desert and endless steppes. The temperature regime differs from the natural one due to the construction of reservoirs and hydroelectric power stations. In summer, the water temperature is kept at around 23-26 degrees, in winter the surface is almost always covered with a layer of ice.
Volga navigable, therefore, large port cities are located along the coast. The richest in flora and fauna is the lower part of the Volga, unique insects, animals, fish and plants along the banks are presented in large quantities.
What other rivers of the European part are included in this list.
Kama. It is located in the 5th place in terms of length, about 200 tributaries flow into it, the largest ones: Vyatka, Belaya, Chusovaya.
Dams, reservoirs and hydroelectric power plants constantly regulate and control water. At the source, it is surrounded by mountainous terrain, steppes, and at the confluence with the Volga, along the banks, birch groves and forest-steppe.
Oka. The second significant tributary of the Volga. The length of the Oka is 1480 m. The source is near the village of Maloarkhangelsk, and in the region of Nizhny Novgorod it flows into the Volga.
The change of landscape along different banks is interesting: the right bank is high, with cliffs and steep slopes, and the left one is low, behind it there are numerous water meadows and fields. Towards the mouth, nature is slightly transformed, here the river becomes wider, faster, and pine trees and deciduous groves appear along the banks.
Don. The length is 1970 km, and the area is impressive - 450 thousand square meters. km. The source is located in the Tula region, flows from the Urvanka stream, and the mouth is the Sea of Azov in the Taganrog Bay. It is characterized by a slow sedate current, so that the expression "quiet" fully corresponds to the character of the Don, the valley is wide, gently sloping with a high right bank. At the lower reaches, the width is 15 km, the depth reaches 12-15 meters. The Don has a lot of tributaries, about 5200. Khoper, Medveditsa, Manych, Northern Donets, Sal are the most significant.
The Don is fed by melt water, groundwater and rain make up a third. On the banks you can see forest-steppes, where several large cities, river ports, nature reserves and hydroelectric power stations are concentrated. The water flow plays a significant role in the life of the region and industry.

Russia is the largest state in the world (its area is 17.12 million km 2, which is 12% of the earth's land), about 3 million rivers flow through its territory. Most are no different large sizes and has a relatively short length, their total length is 6.5 million km.
By the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea, the territory of Russia is divided into European and Asian parts. The rivers of the European part belong to the basins of such seas as the Black and Caspian, Baltic and to the basin of the Arctic Ocean. The rivers of the Asian part - the basins of the Arctic and Pacific Oceans.
Major rivers of Russia
The largest rivers of the European part are the Volga, Don, Oka, Kama, Northern Dvina, some originate in Russia, but flow into the seas on the territory of other countries (for example, the source of the Western Dvina River is the Valdai Upland, Tver Region of the Russian Federation, the mouth is the Gulf of Riga, Latvia).
