The Konda ( Russian Конда ) is a 1097 km long left tributary of the Irtysh in Western Siberia ( Russia , Asia ).
course
The Konda flows from a swamp ( Kondinskoje boloto ; Konda swamp ) in the western part of the West Siberian lowlands at a height of 130 m . It flows through the part of the lowland, named after its Konda lowland, in a wide arc, first in a westerly, then in a southerly direction, then turns in an easterly and finally in a northeastern direction to its confluence with the Irtysh above the village of Tjuli, almost 50 kilometers southeast of Khanty-Mansiysk at a height of 20 m .
Over its entire length meanders of the river strong. In many places the terrain is swampy and rich in lakes. The largest lake through which the Konda itself flows is the Tursuntski Tuman ; the total area of all lakes is 541 km². For the last 50 kilometers or so, the Konda flows parallel to the Irtysh and is already connected to it by several narrow arms ( Pomogaika , Stariza and others) before the actual mouth . Near the mouth, the Konda is over 500 meters wide, several meters deep, and the flow velocity is 0.5 m / s.
The Konda flows through the territory of the Khanty and Mansi / Ugra Autonomous Okrug along its entire length .
Hydrography
The catchment area of the Konda covers 72,800 km². The most important tributaries are Jewra and Kuma from the right, Mulymja , Großer Tap , Jukonda and Kama from the left .
The Konda freezes between the end of October / beginning of November and the end of April / mid-May, the following flood during the snowmelt lasts until July. During this time, the common river floodplain of Konda and Irtysh in particular is largely flooded before they converge. The mean monthly water flow 164 kilometers above the estuary is 231 m³ / s, with a maximum of 1220 m³ / s in May and a minimum of 36 m³ / s in March.
Infrastructure and economy
The Konda is navigable from above the only city of Urai directly on the river .
In the upper reaches the Konda comes close to the Serow - Ivdel - Priobje railway ; the train station of the Zelenoborsk settlement is named Konda after the river . A little west of it, around the town of Sowetski, is one of the West Siberian oil production areas , and another on the central reaches of the Konda around Urai. 160 kilometers downstream from Urai, a railway line from Yekaterinburg , which was completed in the 1960s, reaches the river at the Meschduretschenski settlement ( Ustye-Acha station ).
Apart from the roads and driveways laid out for the purpose of oil exploration and production on the upper and middle reaches of the Konda, the area through which it flows is infrastructurally poor.
