Taz River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Taz (Russian: Таз) is a river located in western Siberia, has a length of 1401 km (871 miles) and drains a basin estimated at 150,000 km².
The Taz River flows into the Tazovskaya Guba, a roughly 250 km long estuary that begins in the area of Tazovskiy town and ends in the Gulf of Ob. Its major tributaries include the Bolshaya Shirta and Khudosey from the right, and the Tolka and Chaselka from the left.
Its estuary and lower course are part of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, while its upper course borders with the Krasnoyarsk Krai administrative division of the Russian Federation.
