The length of the Mesha is 259 km, its catchment area covers 9080 km ² and has an average discharge of 61 m³ / s. Important tributaries are Beresa, Lutschessa, Obscha and Jelscha on the left, and the Butakowka on the right side.

The underflow is navigable, but the navigation is difficult because of driftwood.
