Selenge River

The selenium yeast (Russian: Селенга) or Selenge (Mongolian: Сэлэнгэ гол, Сэлэнгэ мөрөн, Buryatia: Сэлэнгэ гол) is the largest river in Mongolia and Buryatia (Russia). Its Rivers and River are Ideriin Delgermörön. It flows into Lake Baikal, and has a length of 616 miles (992 km) (1024 km, according to other sources). The selenium yeast is the source of system-Yenisei Angara River. It carries 935 m³ / s of water in Lake Baikal, which account for nearly half the river flow and forms a delta when it reaches the lake (680 km ²).

Navigating The Angara River

The Angara is navigable by modern vessels of several isolated sections:
* Lake Baikal in Irkutsk;
* Irkutsk and Bratsk;
* In the Ust-Ilimsk tank;
* From Dam Boguchany (Kodinsk) and the Yenisey River.
The section between Ust-Ilimsk dam and the dam was not navigable due to the rapid Boguchany. However, with the completion of the dam Boguchany, and filling the tank at least part of this section of river is navigable as well. However, this is not going to allow navigation of Lake Baikal, the Yenisei, as none of the three existing dams were given a crash or a boat lift or the dam has a Boguchany.
Despite the absence of a continuous inland waterway transport, Angara, and its tributary Ilim has played a significant role in the Russian colonization of Siberia, from approx. 1630, when (and portage necessary) constituted a major waterway connecting with Lake Baikal, the Lena and Yenisey. River transport lost its importance after the construction of the Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk route, and later the Trans-Siberian

Dams And Reservoirs On The Angara River

Angara is hampered by three major dams, hydroelectric plants, which have been built since 1950.
* Irkutsk Dam (Иркутская ГЭС), forming the Irkutsk Reservoir, which flooded the river valley from birth to Irkutsk, and slightly raises the water level in Lake Baikal.
* Bratsk dam forming the reservoir Bratsk.
* Ust-Ilimsk Dam (Усть-Илимская ГЭС) in Ust-Ilimsk forming Ust-Ilimsk tank.
* Boguchany Dam (Богучанская ГЭС) (under construction) to Kodinsk
Several villages along the Angara River and its tributaries (including the historic fort is Ilimsk Ilim), as well as a number of agricultural areas in the valley of the river, was flooded with these tanks. Because of its impact on the way of life of rural dwellers Angara valley, the dam has criticized a number of Soviet intellectuals, in particular, the writer Valentin Rasputin, Irkutsk, and his novel A Farewell to Matyora and its non-fiction book, Siberia, Siberia.
