The Lower Baicha ( Russian Нижняя Баиха , Nizhnyaya Baicha ) is a 608 km long right tributary of the Turuchan in the West Siberian lowlands in the Asian part of Russia .
course
The Lower Baicha arises at almost 130 m on several small watercourses in the watershed area of the Lobowoi Materik ridge . It extends in the northeast of the West Siberian Lowlands, in the northwest of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and marks the border with the Yamal Nenets Autonomous Okrug . The source is about 200 km as the crow flies southwest of the Turukhansk settlement . In the first kilometers of its eastward course, the river loses almost 100 meters in altitude and reaches the Turuchan lowland, which extends west of the Yenisei south of its tributary Turuchan. In the swampy lowlands, rich in lakes, the Lower Baicha flows in wide arches and strongly meandering in a generally northward direction, parallel to the Yenisei .
It finally flows into the lower reaches of the Turuchan about 40 kilometers west of Turuchansk, just under four kilometers below the village of Farkowo on the right bank of the Turuchan . Near the mouth, the Lower Baicha is about 100 meters wide and two meters deep, and the flow velocity there is 0.4 m / s.
Hydrology
The catchment area of the Lower Baicha covers 8070 km². It has no major tributaries.
The river freezes over from October to May.
Use and infrastructure
The Lower Baicha is not navigable.
The area through which it flows is only sparsely populated. There are no settlements in the entire catchment area of the river. The only village in the vicinity is the village of Farkowo, not far from the mouth of the Turuchan. Accordingly, there is no infrastructure in the area. Farkowo is predominantly inhabited by Selkupen and is the most important settlement point of this ethnic group in the Krasnoyarsk region.
