TheSuda (Russian:Суда) is a river inBabayevsky,Kaduysky, andCherepovetsky Districts ofVologda Oblast inRussia. It flows into theRybinsk Reservoir of theVolga. It is 184 kilometres (114 mi) long, with adrainage basin of 13,500 square kilometres (5,200 sq mi) and an average discharge of 134 cubic metres per second (4,700 cu ft/s). Its main tributaries are the Shogda, theAndoga, theKolp, theVoron and thePetukh.
The source of the Suda is the confluence of theKoloshma and theNozhema in the northwest of Babayevsky District of Vologda Oblast, close to the border withLeningrad Oblast. The river flows in the general direction southeast. Almost the whole valley of the Suda is populated. Theselo ofBorisovo-Sudskoye, located in the upper course of the river, is named after the Suda. Between 1927 and 1959 it was an administrative center ofBorisovo-Sudsky District of Leningrad Oblast and of Vologda Oblast.[2] The historic Khvalevskoye Manor is located in the selo of Borisovo-Sudskoye on a 30-meter high banks of the Suda river.
In the lower course, between the mouths of the Kolp (left) and the Andoga (right) the Suda runs close to the urban-type settlement ofKaduy, the center ofKaduysky District, located on the left bank. The mouth of the Suda is located in the settlement of Suda, and the lower course is essentially a bay of the Rybinsk Reservoir.
The river basin of the Suda comprises vast area in the west of Vologda Oblast, in particular, almost all of Babayevsky District, almost all of Kaduysky District, large areas inBelozersky and Cherepovetsky District of Vologda Oblast and inBoksitogorsky District of Leningrad Oblast, as well as minor areas inVytegorsky andUstyuzhensky Districts of Vologda Oblast andTikhvinsky andPodporozhsky Districts of Leningrad Oblast. There are many lakes in the river basin of the Suda, mostly of glacial origin. The biggest of the lakes isLake Andozero in Belozersky District.
The lower course of the Suda (22 kilometres (14 mi)) is listed in the State Water Register of Russia as navigable, however, there is no passenger navigation.
Russian Caviar House, Russia's largest producer ofblack caviar, uses live fish wells on the Suda, in which the water remains warm all year round due to clean water from the cooling system of theCherepovets thermal power plant [ru].
