 The Kija in Kuznetsk Alatau (near Moskowka, Tissul Rajon , Kemerovo Oblast ) |
||
The 548 km long Kija ( Russian Кия ) is a left tributary of the Chulym in central Siberia ( Russia , Asia ).
geography
The Kija flows from a small lake at an altitude of about 1250 m on the northern flank of the 1,489 m high Medweschja ("Bear Mountain") in Kuznetsk Alatau , in the east of Kemerovo Oblast, not far from the border with the Krasnoyarsk region . The river flows through the eastern part of the mountains in a narrow, rocky valley until it reaches the plain near the village of Tschumai. Here it continues its course in a north to north-westerly direction in a wide valley, now in sections strongly meandering . In its lower reaches, the river reaches Tomsk Oblast and finally flows into the Ob tributary Chulym above the village and district administrative center Syrjanskoje at an altitude of 99 m .
The main tributaries are the Tyashin ( Тяжин ) and Cheet ( Четь ) from the right and Kundat ( Кундат ), Koschuch ( Кожух ), Tschebula ( Чебула ) and Antibes ( Антибес ) from the left.
Hydrology
The catchment area of the Kija covers 32,200 km². The mean water flow in the village of Okuneevo, 34 kilometers above the mouth (and still above the confluence of the Cheet) is 167 m³ / s with a minimum monthly mean of 29.3 m³ / s in March and a maximum monthly mean of 773 m³ / s in May . Near the mouth, the kija is about 250 meters wide and 1.5 meters deep. The flow velocity here is 0.7 m / s.
The river freezes from November to April.
Economy and Infrastructure
The Kija was still considered navigable for smaller vessels from Mariinsk on the middle reaches in the 1980s ; Today only the lower reaches of 13 kilometers from Krasnoyarsky Reid is inland waterway, where the Cheet flows into it and a road crosses the river.
From the 1820s the region of the tributaries of the upper Kija (including Kundat, Mokry Berikul, Sukhoi Berikul) was an important gold mining area . Gold mining was scaled back from the beginning of the 20th century with relocation to the East Siberian extraction areas, but only came to a complete standstill in the 1990s (mine in the Berikulski settlement ). In operation, a is RUSAL's belonging nepheline tagebau (aluminum raw material) in Belogorsk on (Kijski) Schaltyr , a small tributary of the upper Kija (with station Kiya-Schaltyr , end point of a 1968 opened, 168 km long branch line of the railway Atschinsk - Abakan ).
There are only a few places on the mountain range of the Kija; the flat land section is more densely populated. The largest place here is the city of Mariinsk, where the Trans-Siberian Railway (on a 250 m long bridge) and the M53 highway from Novosibirsk to Irkutsk cross the river.
