Turya River

Turya River

Turya ( _ru. Турья́) is a river in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. It is a right tributary of the Sosva, and is 128 km long, with a drainage basin of 1,160 km².

The river has its sources in the boggy regions east of the central Ural Mountains. It flows eastwards through a relatively open and somewhat boggy landscape, and flows into the Sosva some 25 km east of Krasnoturyinsk. The river is 10-40 meters wide. It freezes over in late October, and stays frozen until late April or early May. Along the Turya lies the towns of Krasnoturyinsk and Karpinsk.

In 1943 a dam was built across the river at Krasnoturyinsk. The resulting Bogoslovskoye Reservoir is 18 meters deep, about 0.5 km bredt and 8 km long, and stretches to the neighbouring town of Karpinsk. Later, more dams has been built upstream.

The river is polluted as a result of nearby industries, like the Bogoslovsky Aluminiums Plant, a chicken factory, and a power plant, in addition to runoff from the towns of Krasnoturyinsk and Karpinsk.
