The Talaja ( Russian Талая ) is the approximately 20 km long, eastern and right main trunk upper reaches of the 57 km long Norilka , which flows in the north of the Krasnoyarsk region , from Siberia and Russia ( Asia ).
geography
course
The Talaja runs around 325 km north of the Arctic Circle between the northeastern Putorana Mountains (max. 1701 m ), the rocky northwestern part of the Central Siberian Mountains , and the southwestern Lontokoiski-Kamen Mountains (max. 760 m ), the outer northwestern part of this mountainous region. It flows from the Melkojesee , which is 44 m above sea level . From now on it runs between the two mountains through unpopulated area towards the west and flows through a lake-like section in which there are some river islands.
Finally, the Talaja united far above the lying at the Norilka Waljok between said southwest located Norilsk and its north-east area Talnach is, to about 29 m height - around 15 m height difference - to that of the south-east of Lake Keta coming Rybnaja to Norilka .
Tributaries, lakes and catchment areas
A few small streams belong to the tributaries of the Talaja. In the catchment area are the Melkojesee with the lakes Lama , Kapchuk , Glubokoje , Sobatschje , Nakomjaken and Tonelj and numerous small lakes above it .
Hydrology, climate and flora
The hydrological regime of the Talaja is determined by harsh winters and short summers due to its northern location and the associated proximity to the Arctic . There is a lot of precipitation all year round, and the presence of numerous still and flowing waters in their very large catchment area play a regulating role in the water balance. The river is covered in ice from late September to mid-June . When ice and snow melt in summer , floods often occur between June and August .
The Talaja runs in the climatic zone of the permafrost , on its banks boreal coniferous forests (taiga) thrive and on the mountains of the surrounding mountains there is tundra with mosses and lichens . The river is the habitat of many arctic species - for example perch fish , pike and salmon fish .
environmental pollution
The factories of the industrial group MMC Norilsk Nickel , the world market leader in the production of nickel and palladium , located in the Norilsk region , cause severe environmental pollution - for example on the Talaya .
