The Tagil (Russian Тагил, Mansi много воды, literally meaning " much water ") is a 414 km long right tributary of Tura in Siberia (Russia, Asia).
Course
The Tagil rises on the eastern slope of the Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast in the southwest, about 50 km north- west of the regional capital Yekaterinburg. From there it flows north through a forested mountain landscape. After a few kilometers it reaches Werchni Tagil, where he became 2.6 km ² Werchnetagilskoje wodochranilischtsche (Russian Верхнетагильское Водохранилище, also Верхнетагильский пруд ( Werchnetagilski Prud, Werchnetagilsker pond ) ) is dammed, which serves the fishing industry.
Then the Targil continues to flow in a northerly direction, where he soon reached the industrial city of Nizhny Tagil, the largest city along its course. Again, it is dammed to form a reservoir, which 9.84 km ² Nischnetagilskoje wodochranilischtsche (Russian Нижнетагильское водохранилище, also Нижнетагильский Пруд ( Nischnetagilski Prud, Nischnetagilsker pond ) ). This is used for domestic water supply, based in Nizhny Tagil mining, defense and chemical industries, including the steel producer NTMK (Russian Нижнетагильский металлургический комбинат ( Nischnetagilski metallurgitscheski industrial complex ) ) and the mechanical engineers and the world's largest tank manufacturer Uralvagonzavod (Russian Уралвагонзавод ).
Having Nizhny Tagil flows through, the Tagil first applies to the northwest and exits from the Urals to the West Siberian Lowland. After the confluence of the Barantscha he turns to the east and northeast, where it flows through the wooded west of Sverdlovsk Oblast in wide curves. A little later, just before the junction of the Mugai, the forest occurs further back from the river, and the shore area of the Tagil is increasingly used for agriculture. Below Machnewo the Tagil begins very strongly meandering. In this area, he trains a large oxbow lakes. , Reaches the Tagil in Bolotowskoje the Tura, in which he discharges coming from the right.
Hydrology and use
The average Tagil is frozen for 160 days from the beginning of November until the second half of April. The river is mixed rain and snow melt water fed, the latter outweighs easily. His lowest runoff values he has in winter, during the thaw in the spring, the water level rises very sharply, and can take up more than three meters above the normal level. The highest runoff values are measured in April and May.
In addition to the domestic water use in Nizhny Tagil Tagilsk of fish farming is also used, especially in its upper reaches in Werchni Tagil. The river is navigable.
