The Beissug ( Russian Бейсу́г , translit. Bejsug ) is a 243 km long tributary of the Azov Sea in the northern foothills of the Caucasus in Russia .
course
The bite arises at a height of about 80 m in the steppes of the eastern Kuban area . The source is about seven kilometers northwest of the city of Kropotkin . The Beissug flows along its entire length in a north-westerly direction through the central part of the Krasnodar Territory . Below the Stanitsa Brjuchowezkaja , the river reaches the former Liman Lebjaschi, which was transformed from a lagoon in the Azov Sea into a shallow inland lake through hydraulic engineering measures . A few kilometers further follows the Beissug-Liman (Beissugski-Liman), the upper, approximately 25 km long section of which was separated by a dam at the Stanitsa Brinkowskaya and formed the Beissug reservoir . The reservoir has now practically silted up or has become a swamp area . At Brinkovskaya the river finally reaches the part of the Beissug Liman, which still exists in its original form, which is over 30 km long and 10 km wide. The Liman is separated from the open sea by the Jassenskaya Kossa spit , to which there is a 200 m wide flow 25 km north of the city of Primorsko-Akhtarsk .
The Beissug flows through no towns, but in the river or in its vicinity are the larger Stanizen Nowomalorossijkaja , vyselki , Beresanskaja , Baturinskaja , Pereyaslovskaya , Bryukhovetskaya and Brinkowskaja.
The most important tributaries are the Beissuschok and the Right Beissuschok (Beissuschok Prawy) from the right and the Left Beissuschok (Beissuschok Lewy) from the left.
Hydrology
The catchment area of the river covers 5190 km². Ice drift can be observed from December to mid-March; from February to April the river is flooded. For almost its entire length to Bryukhovetskaya, the river is regulated by small dams and is an uninterrupted series of ponds; the course of the river is heavily weed.
Use and infrastructure
The bite is not navigable. Its water is used to irrigate agricultural areas.
The Rostov-on-Don - Makhachkala railway line runs in the immediate vicinity of the source of the Beissug , the middle course at Vyselki and Berezanskaya crosses the Tichorezkaya - Krasnodar railway line and the M4 trunk road from Moscow via Krasnodar to the Black Sea coast . The Bataisk - Krasnodar railway line and regional road R268 cross the river near Bryukhovetskaya .
