Chuyunchi (tributary of Salgira)

The source of Chuyunchi is located south of the village of Krasnovka ^[5] , where the river begins with several springs flowing from the Lower Cretaceous strata, with a total flow rate of 28,800 buckets per day in August 1911. To the Simferopol-Feodosiya highway , the river valley is gentle, slightly expressed, covered with sparse shrubs and occupied by farmland. After the Chuyunchi highway flows through the foothills, composed of nummulite limestones , the valley becomes quite deep, with a steep left bank. After the village, the Harvest River goes into the steppe area and soon the river dries up, filling only during floods. Even flood waters do not always reach Salgir, although Nikolai Rukhlov , in his 1915 review of river valleys of the Crimean mountains, notes that before deforestation in the upper river in the middle of the 19th century, the river was more full and in the lower reaches, lower than the village Chuyke , irrigation gardens were grown ^[2] .

According to the reference book “Surface water bodies of the Crimea”, 2 unnamed tributaries ^[4] flow into the river Salgir 153 kilometers from the mouth, according to the information of August Oliferov , near the village of Krasnaya Zorka ^[3] (currently it is led out by the canal to the east ^{[6] ]} ), the water protection zone is set at 100 m ^[7] .
