The Judoma ( Russian Юдома ) is a 765 km long right tributary of the Maja in northeast Siberia ( Russia , Asia ).

course

The Judoma arises at a height of over 1000  m south of the Suntar Chajata , a southeastern branch of the Verkhoyansk Mountains , from the source rivers Avlija and Nitkan . The left (eastern) source river Nitkan is the larger with a length of about 55 kilometers; it flows from a glacier of the Suntar Chajata at an altitude of over 2000  m .

First, the Judoma flows south in a wide valley parallel to the Judoma ridge , one of the highest parts of the Judoma Maja highlands . Then it turns in a westerly to southwesterly direction and flows in wide arcs through the above-mentioned highlands to its confluence with the Maja at a height of 190  m , a few kilometers above the village of Ust-Judoma on the right bank of the Maja . Near the mouth, the Judoma is over 300 meters wide, up to four meters deep, and the flow speed is 1.4 m / s.

The source and upper reaches of the river are located on the territory of the Khabarovsk Territory . In the middle reaches the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) , flows through its territory for a few kilometers and then forms the border between the two areas up to the confluence with the Maja.

The most important tributaries of the Judoma are from the right Akachan (length 154 km), from the left Gorbi (159 km) and Kjala (109 km).

Hydrography

The catchment area of the Judoma covers 43,700 km².

The Judoma freezes between mid-October and the second half of May, after which it leads to floods until September with a maximum in July. Not far from the estuary, the mean water flow is 342 m³ / s with a minimum of 3.7 m³ / s in March and a maximum of 1081 m³ / s in June.

Infrastructure

The lower 270 kilometers of the Judoma are navigable.

The area through which the Judoma flows is largely uninhabited; The only place on the river is the gold prospecting settlement (officially urban-type ) Jugorjonok , which had 813 inhabitants in 2006 (compared to 1870 in 1989), on the right (Yakut) river bank. The settlement is the end of a 300-kilometer-long unpaved road that starts from the settlement of Eldikan , north of the Ust-Maja district administrative center on the right bank of the Aldan . Otherwise there is no infrastructure whatsoever.
