Geography
The river is formed by the confluence of the rivers Right Bureya and Left Bureya . The source of the Right Bureya on the southern slopes of the Aesop ridge, the Left - on the western slopes of the Dusse-Alin ridge . Length - 623 km (from the sources of the Right Bureya - 739 km), the basin area - 70,700 km².
In the river basin there are about 1,500 lakes with a total area of over 51 km².
In the upper reaches of the Bureya there is a mountain river, its middle and lower reaches in the Zeya-Bureya plain . During floods, the water discharge reached 18 100 m³ / s.
There are deposits of coal and iron ore in the Bureya basin.
The Bureyskaya and Nizhnebureyskaya hydroelectric power stations were built on the river, forming the Bureisky hydroelectric station cascade .
On Bureya there is an early Neolithic site of the Grughatuha culture Maly Kuruktachi-1, dating from the age of 14,200–11730 years. n - early dryas - the transition to allergy [4] .
History
The name “Bureya” comes from the Evenki Birai , which means “big river” [5] . During the Cossack campaigns on the Amur in the XVII century, it was known as the Bystroi River.
In December 2018, 73 kilometers from the village of Chekunda, part of the hill fell into the riverbed, which reduced the flow of water into the reservoir of the Bureyskaya HPP and there was a risk of flooding of the surrounding territories. Local residents claimed that the collapse was caused by the fall of a large meteorite, but experts consider the landslide to be the cause [6] [7] . The river tsunami caused by the landslide rose 4 km upstream along the valley of the Bureya tributary of the Middle Sandar River [8] .
On February 1, 2019, through a series of powerful explosions in a rock layer at the site of a landslide, the channel of the first channel was formed, water flowed into the formed channel. But since the volume of water movement along it does not correspond to the natural one, work on arranging the second duct will continue. The second stage is planned to be completed by February 18, 2019 [9] [10] .
