Geographic Information
The length is about 8.5 km. Width from 50 to 360 m. Depth up to 8.5 m.
The water content of the Bolshaya Nevka varies from source to mouth, decreasing as the two branches branch off from it - Malaya and Middle Nevka. The norm of the average annual water discharge at the source of the Bolshaya Nevka is 342 m³ / s, after the separation of Malaya Nevka - 176 m³ / s, and below the arrow of the Elagin Island - 73 m³ / s. The average width in the same sections of the Bolshaya Nevka is 200, 190 and 80 m, respectively. The average depth varies from 6.0 to 3.8 m. The flow velocity averages 0.24-0.28 m / s.
Four kilometers from the estuary, Bolshaya Nevka receives the water of the Black River .
The level regime of the Bolshaya Nevka River below the arrow of Kamenny Island is determined primarily by fluctuations in the marks of the water surface of the Neva Bay. The level order for the summer period at the confluence of the Black River is 14 cm BS.
