Inya River
Inya (Russian: Иня́) is a river in Kemerovo and Novosibirsk Oblasts of Russia. It is a right tributary of the Ob River. It is 663 km long, with a drainage basin of 17 600 km².
The Inya has its sources in a ridge in the central part of the Kuznetsk Basin, and flows through Kemerovo Olast in a mainly westerly direction, then enters Novosibirsk Oblast and finally joins the Ob River, just 5 km southeast of downtown Novosibirsk.
At the village of Beryosovka, some 30 km from its mouth, the rivers average discharge is 47,0 m³/s (minimum in February at 8,6 m³/s, and maximum in May at 195 m³/s). Near the mouth the river is some 60 m wide and 1.5 m deep. Its main tributaries are the Kasma, Ur and Bachat.
By the Inya lies the towns of Leninsk-Kuznetsky and Toguchin. The riverflows through a rather densely populated area, and is crossed by several railway lines.
The river freezes over in the beginning of November, and stays frozen till the spring thaw starts in mid-April.
