The Jida ( Russian Джида́ ) is a 567 km long left tributary of the Selenga in southeast Siberia ( Russia , Asia ).
course
The Jida rises at an altitude of about 2200 m in a south-western foothill of the Chamar-Daban Mountains not far from the border with Mongolia . The mountains reach a height of over 2,600 meters a few kilometers southwest of the source. Initially, the Jida flows as a raging mountain river through a narrow, gorge-like valley in a south-easterly direction. Later it turns in an easterly direction and flows through a wide valley interrupted by narrow sections north of the Jida Mountains named after it . The river is never more than 30 kilometers away from the Russian-Mongolian state border.
The Jida finally flows into the Selenga, the largest tributary of Lake Baikal, not far from the urban-type settlement (and district administrative center) Jida, which is also named after the river, at an altitude of 558 m .
The most important tributaries are the Zakirka and Chamnei from the left and the Sheltura ( Mongolian Зэлтэрийн гол / Dselteriin gol ) from Mongolia from the right.
Hydrography
The catchment area of the Jida covers 23,500 km². Near the mouth, the river is over 50 meters wide and two meters deep; the flow velocity is 1.0 m / s.
The mean water flow near the mouth is 73.5 m³ / s, with a minimum monthly mean of 4.0 m³ / s in February and a maximum monthly mean of 220 m³ / s in August. During the entire summer and autumn months, the Jida has floods, especially from June to September.
Infrastructure
The Jida is not navigable.
The area of the upper reaches of the Jida, up to the confluence of the Zakirka, is hardly populated. There are a large number of places along the middle and lower reaches, including the mining town of Sakamensk, three kilometers away from the river . After zakamensk the leads in nearly 300 kilometers different distance along the river Gusinoozyorsk of the highway A340 Ulan-Ude - Kjachta / Mongolian border branching regional road 81А-007th
The confluence of the Jida into the Selenga is within sight of the Trans-Mongolian Railway , which branches off the Trans-Siberian Railway in Ulan-Ude and leads via Mongolia to the People's Republic of China . A few kilometers above the railway line crosses the river.
