Geography
Reut originates near the village of Redu-Mare, Donduseni district , at an altitude of 146 m above sea level, flows in a southeast direction, changes its direction twice (near Balti and Florest ) and flows into the Dniester near the village of Ustye . The river valley reaches a width of 3 km near Balti to 9 km near Orheev . There are many floodplains on Reut, mostly drained. Between Floresti and Kazanesti Reut passes through limestone cliffs, forming deep and narrow gorges.
Forage crops and vegetables are grown in the river valley. Reut is used for irrigation. The cities of Balti , Marculesti , Floresti and Orhei are located on the Reut River. In the river basin are Old Orhei and a picturesque site near the village of Trebujeni .
Main tributaries: the right tributaries - Kopachanka, Reutsel, Solonets, Uligach, Bolshoi Chuluk, Vatic, Ivancha, Ryshka; left - Kubolta, Kaynar, Kamenka, Dobrush, Sagala, Ivanos, Draginich.
The river waters are heavily polluted by domestic wastewater. The average turbidity of the waters is 700 g / cm³ near Beltsy.
Near the village of Nikoryany, Drokievsky District, the riverbed is completely dry. [6]
The width of the river near Balti is about 2-4 meters [1]
History
The first hydroelectric power station in Moldova (1954) was built on Reut, in the village of Kazanesti in the Telenesti district, which did not last long and was shut down due to unprofitability with the commissioning of the Dubossary hydroelectric station in the early 1960s. However, the dam and reservoir above it have survived to this day. Very picturesque place.
In August 2017, near the village of Brynzeniy Noi (Telenesti district), water was shut off at a small hydroelectric station, which caused downstream fish to die. [7]
