The Voronezh ( Russian Воронеж ) is a 342 km long left tributary of the Don in western Russia in the Oka-Don plain . It is formed near Michurinsk by the two source rivers Lesnoi Voronezh ("Forest-Voronezh", 164 km, from the right) and Polnoi Voronezh ("Field Voronezh", 178 km, from the left), both in the border area of the Oblasts Ryazan and Tambov arise from.
The old name of the river was Velikoi Voronoi , which means something like "Great Black River". The current name is derived from this.
Its catchment area covers 21,600 km², the mean flow rate (MQ) in Voronezh is 70.8 m³ / s. The river freezes over in December and remains frozen until the end of March. Only the lower reaches are navigable.
The middle reaches of the Voronezh runs through the Lipetsk Oblast , while it crosses the city of Lipetsk . A dam wall was built behind the city of Voronezh between 1971 and 1972. The resulting Voronezh reservoir has an area of about 70 km² and stretches from the southern city limits of Voronezh about 30 km to the northern city limits. A little below the dam, the Voronezh flows into the Don at Schilowo .
