Taymura

The Taimura (Russian: Тайму́ра) is a river that runs to the west of Central Siberia in Evenkiysky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It is a left tributary of the Nizhnyaya Tunguska.

The source of the river is the confluence of the North Taimura and South Taimura rivers. The length of the river is 454 kilometres (282 mi); its basin area is 32,500 square kilometres (3.25×10¹⁰ m²). It flows in a wide valley across the Central Siberian Plateau. The river freezes in October and flows under the ice until May. Snow and rain feed the river. The average annual water consumption at 332 km (206 mi) from the mouth is 87.6 cubic metres per second (3,090 cu ft/s). There are more than 800 lakes in the river basin; their total area is 17.1 km² (6.6 sq mi).

The largest tributaries are the following rivers: Charveya, Unary, Delingdeken, Kerboku, Dyelingdeken, Detkekte, Siki, Neptenne and Varheme.

Kerbo, the only village on the river, has been uninhabited since Soviet times.
