Features of the Nerl River

The Nerl River on the map is mainly located in the Tver Region, on the territory of Yaroslavl there is a 60 km long section of the riverbed. The average annual water consumption is 12 cubic meters per second. Under the ice costs about 5 months: it freezes in the second half of November, is opened in mid-April. Ice by spring can reach a thickness of 100 cm offshore. Water supply - mixed, with a predominance of snow - 90%. Underground sources play a smaller role - 15%. The spring floods are typical - up to 35 days. But in the fall floods are also possible if precipitation seriously exceeds the norm. In some "raw" years, one flood can be replaced by another, so the overflow of water can last up to 100 days. Even less water rainfall - 10%. The largest tributaries of the Nerl are the Kubr, the Broom and the Saber.

Chemical composition of water

The Nerl River shows the following parameters of mineralization of water: 96.9 mg / liter in floods, 399 in summer and 534 in winter. The chemical composition is formed mainly by rainwater, which includes not only the evaporation of the sea, but also industrial emissions, agricultural fertilizers And exhausts of various vehicles. Mineralization of water in the summer is greatly increasing. In the rainy autumn, the concentration of minerals decreases again, but as soon as the ice age passes, it increases and by March it can reach a maximum of 800 mg / liter. The chemical feature of the water of the Nerl, as well as of the reservoirs of its basin, is the presence of bicarbonate ions. Water in the river belongs to the category of hard - above 6 mg.eq / liter.

History and human settlements

The Nerl River is a small homeland of the Russian Navy, since it was on it, in Pereslavl-Zalesskiy, that the first boat was launched by Peter the First.

But at the beginning of the XIII century Ksniatin was devastated by the Novgorodians during the internecine wars of the specific princes. Then ravaged by a raid detachment of the Golden Horde. And by the end of the XIII century, he was burned again during princely internecine strife. In the XIV century, Ksniatin is still mentioned in the Kashinsky principality.
