The Kuma ( Russian Кума ) is a 530 km long right tributary of the Konda in Western Siberia ( Russia ).
course
The Kuma entfließt approximately 85 m height the Kuma-sump (Kuminskoje Boloto) in the western part of the West Siberian Plain , about 75 km as the crow southwest of the urban-type settlement Meschduretschenski in the Autonomous Okrug Khanty-Mansi / Ugra and 100 km north of the city of Tavda in the Sverdlovsk Oblast . It initially flows in a south-easterly to easterly direction before turning north and maintaining this general direction in several wide arcs. Over its entire length, always on the territory of the Autonomous Okrug of the Khanty and Mansi, the river meanders strongly in many places in swampy terrain with many lakes. The main arm of the river flows into the important Irtysh tributary Konda about 50 kilometers east of Mezhduretschensky at a height of 32 m . A smaller, right tributary, which branches off a few kilometers above the mouth of the Kuma main arm, follows the Konda at a distance of more than 10 km for another 40 km (as the crow flies), before it also joins below the Kondinskoje settlement . Near the mouth, the Kuma is about 70 meters. The most important tributaries are Laut and Mortka from the left and the Landina from the right.
Hydrology
The catchment area of the Kuma covers 7750 km². The mean annual runoff at the Kuminski gauge on the upper reaches is 4.9 m³ / s with a minimum monthly average of 0.5 m³ / s in February and a maximum of 22.9 m³ / s in May. The floods during the snowmelt last from April to June.
Infrastructure
The Kuma is not navigable.
Overall, it only flows through sparsely populated and economically little or unused area. The only larger town on the river is the urban-type Kuminski settlement, which arose in the 1960s with the construction of the Tavda - Mezhduretschensky railway line ( Ustye-Acha station ), which crosses the upper reaches of the river there. A year-round passable road following the railway line is under construction. Forestry is practiced in the wider area of Kuminski. In addition, there is only the small village of Stary Katysch on the right arm of the estuary.
