The Oshta (Russian: Ошта, Veps: Šušt)[1] is a river in Vytegorsky District, Vologda Oblast, Russia. It flows from Lake Oshtozero into the Onega Canal and has a length of 39 kilometers (24 mi).
Geography
[edit]The Oshta is 39 kilometers (24 mi) long and its basin covers an area of 374 square kilometers (144 sq mi).[2] The source of the river is Lake Oshtozero, located in the Vepsian Upland (Megra Ridge), from where it flows into Lake Onega via the Onega Canal.[3] The river drops a total of 108 meters (354 ft) and has a stream gradient of 2.77 meters per kilometer (14.6 ft/mi).[4] Much of this is in the upper and middle course of the river, where multiple rapids are located.[3] Around the mouth, a sedge-dominated wetland stretches for some two kilometers (1.2 mi).[5]
Tributaries of the river include the Keskas-ruchey (19 km (12 mi) from mouth), Verkhnyaya Orovashka (9.9 km (6.2 mi) from mouth) and Cheleksa rivers (6.9 km (4.3 mi) from mouth), as well as Lake Urozero.[2]
The biggest settlement along the river is also named Oshta. Other settlements include Simanovo and Kurvoshsky Pogost.[3]
Environmental values
[edit]Based on measurements taken between 30 July and 2 August 2024, the water of the Oshta had a pH of 7.9, while the level of total dissolved solids was 207 milligrams per liter (0.000120 oz/cu in).[4]
Before the direct connection with Lake Onega was cut off by the Onega Canal, salmon entered the river to spawn.[3]
