Then it turns to the east, passes the village of the same name Tersa and after 249 km flows into the Medveditsa a little below the Rajon center Rudnja on the right. A few kilometers above the mouth, the Schelkan meets the Tersa from the left. The Tersa drains an area of 8810 km². It is mainly fed by the snowmelt . In April there is an annual flood . 120 km above the mouth, the mean discharge (MQ) is 5.6 m³ / s. In dry years, the Tersa river can dry out for up to 6 months.
