The 964 km long Wach ( Russian Вах ) is a right tributary of the Ob in Siberia ( Russia , Asia ).
course
The Wach rises in the area of the watershed of Ob, Yenisei and Tas in the east of the West Siberian lowlands and flows along its entire length in a strongly meandering manner through the sparsely populated taiga areas in the east of the Autonomous Okrug of Khanty and Mansi / Ugra . The Wach flows into the Ob about 15 km above Nizhnevartovsk , which is 300 m wide and 5 m deep. The flow velocity near the mouth is 0.5 m / s.
Hydrography
The catchment area covers 76,700 km². It forms the settlement area of the eastern Khanty group . The mean monthly water flow at Lobchinskoje (in the middle course, 253 km above the mouth) is 540 m³ / s (minimum in March: 187 m³ / s, maximum in June: 1,679 m³ / s).
Infrastructure and economy
The Wach is navigable up to the mouth of the Sabun ( Сабун ) tributary (432 km; in addition, 6 km from the mouth of the Sabun up to the village of Larjak). The most important tributaries of the Wach are Kulynigol ( Кулынигол ), Sabun and Kolikjogan ( Коликъёган ; 253 km to the Podbasa pier) from the right and the Great Megtygjogan ( Большой Мегтыгъёган ) from the left.
In the area of the Wach lower reaches, important oil deposits such as the Samotlor oil field are exploited. Herein lies on the right bank near the mouth of the urban-type settlement Islutschinsk , a suburb of Nizhnevartovsk and only one with 16,400 inhabitants larger settlement on the river. A road bridge south of Isluchinsk on the connection from Nizhnevartovsk to Streschewoi in the neighboring Tomsk Oblast was completed in 2014 ( 60 ° 56 ′ 7.6 ″ N , 76 ° 53 ′ 24.2 ″ E ).
