TheUver (Russian:Уверь) is a river inMoshenskoy andBorovichsky Districts ofNovgorod Oblast. It is a righttributary of theMsta. It is 90 kilometres (56 mi) long, and the area of its basin 3,930 square kilometres (1,520 sq mi). The principal tributary is theSyezha (left).
The source of the Uver is inLake Korobozha, northeast of the town ofBorovichi. It flows south and joins the Msta between the settlements ofBerezovsky Ryadok andOpechensky Posad. Theselo ofMoshenskoye is located on the banks of the Uver.
Thedrainage basin of the Uver comprises the western part of Moshenskoy District, the northern part ofUdomelsky District ofTver Oblast, as well as areas in the south ofKhvoyninsky District and in the southeast of Borovichsky District, both of Novgorod Oblast.
Before the 18th century, one of the waterways between Novgorod and the river basin of theVolga ran along theMsta and the Uver. The foundation of Moshenskoye in the 16th century was presumably related to the existence of this waterway.[2]
