Turya
The Turya is a river in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. It is a right tributary of the Sosva. It is long, with a drainage basin of.
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 east of Krasnoturyinsk. The river is wide. It freezes over in late October, and stays frozen until late April or early May. Along the Turya lie the towns of Krasnoturyinsk and Karpinsk.
In 1943 a dam was built across the river at Krasnoturyinsk. The resulting Bogoslovskoye Reservoir is deep, about wide and long, and stretches to the neighbouring town of Karpinsk. Later, more dams were built upstream.
The river is polluted as a result of nearby industries, like the Bogoslovsky Aluminium Plant, a chicken factory, and a power plant, in addition to runoff from the towns of Krasnoturyinsk and Karpinsk.
