The Taui (Russian: Тауй), also known as Kava (Russian: Кава) part of its course, is a river in Khabarovsk Krai and Magadan Oblast, Russian Far East. It has a drainage basin of 25,900 square kilometres (10,000 sq mi).[1][2]
The river is a spawning ground for salmon. Its last stretch is navigable.[3]
Course[]
The Taui river, as the Kava, is formed at the confluence of rivers Rasava and Lozovaya at an elevation of 125 m (410 ft) in the Upper Kolyma Highlands.[4][3]
The Taui flows first southeastwards and then roughly eastwards. In its last stretch it enters a wide floodplain among wetlands. Finally it flows into the Amakhton Bay, part of the Taui Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk. Its mouth lies west of the Arman lagoon and just southwest of the mouth of the Yana.[5] The river freezes before mid October and stays frozen until mid May.[3]
The separates the Taui basin from the Inya basin to the west. The main tributary of the Taui is the 228 kilometres (142 mi) long (Чёломджа) that joins it in its lower course from the left.[4]
