Urmi River
The Urmi River (Russian: Урми) is a river in Khabarovsk Krai of Russia. It is 458 kilometres (285 mi) long and drains a basin of 15,000 square kilometres (5,800 sq mi). There are some 1,040 lakes in the Urmi basin; their total surface area is more than 32 square kilometres (12 sq mi).
The Urmi merges with the Kur River to form the Tunguska, which then falls into the Amur River opposite Khabarovsk.
The Urmi River's source lies on the southern slopes of the Badzhal’skii Range, from where it begins to flow adjacent to the Bureia Range. The river's lower course passes mostly though the Amur Lowland.[1]
The Urmi depends on rain for most of its water. Its mean rate of flow is 170 cubic metres per second (6,000 cu ft/s). With the onset of winter in November, the river freezes.[1]
The river is navigable by small craft. One particular stretch of the river, which is 260 kilometres (160 mi) long, is used to float lumber.[1]
