TheSogozha (Russian:Сого́жа) is a river inVologda andYaroslavl Oblasts inRussia. It is 129 kilometres (80 mi) long, with adrainage basin of 2,900 square kilometres (1,100 sq mi).[1]
The river terminates in theRybinsk Reservoir of theVolga. Before the construction of the Rybinsk Reservoir the Sogozha was atributary of theSheksna.
The town ofPoshekhonye is situated on the left (southern) bank of the Sogozha. Historically, the river received two left tributaries, theSoga (from the east) and thePertomka (from the south) within the city limits. Due to the water level rise caused by the Rybinsk Reservoir, the Sogozha and the Soga now form a wide bay at their joint entering of the reservoir.[citation needed]
