History
The name is first mentioned in the Census Salary Book of Vodskaya Pyatina under the year 1500. The names Kablas-yoki (possibly mistakenly) and Kioanaki are found on Swedish maps, and the name Koenka is also found on Russian maps in the 18th century.
Previously, the river was supposedly a tributary of Lakhta . Through the channels of the Yuntolovsky zakaznik, it is connected with the Yuntolovka river. Previously, it also connected with the Black River and Lake Dolgim.
Geographical Information
The length of the river is 12 km, the width is 2-3 m, in the lower reaches up to 50-60 m, the depth is up to 0.2-2 m, the flow velocity is 0.2 m / s. The average discharge is 0.3–0.6 m³ / s. The catchment area is 134 km² [2] . For 3 km from the source, the riverbed is a ditch with a swampy floodplain, running along the northern border of the Novo-Oryol forest park . 7.9 km from the mouth of the Kamenka river is blocked by a reinforced concrete dam with weir, the difference is about 2 m. The dam creates backwater, forming an artificial reservoir - Shuvalovsky quarry with a length of 1.34 km. The reservoir area is 326 thousand m², the average width is 0.25 km, the average depth is 1.81 m. The river is fed mainly due to surface runoff, with a predominance of snow in it. There are five automobile bridges on the river (in the Staroorlovskaya, Novoorlovskaya and Zapovednaya streets, two more bridges downstream of the Shuvalovsky quarry), as well as a wooden railway bridge north of Shuvalovo station and the narrow-gauge railway bridge of the Children's Railway to the west of Shuvalovo station.
