The Inya (Russian: Иня́, pronounced as /ru/) is a river in Kemerovo and Novosibirsk Oblasts of Russia. It is a right tributary of the Ob. It is 663km (412miles) long, with a drainage basin of 17600km2.

By the Inya lie the towns of Leninsk-Kuznetsky and Toguchin.[1] The river flows through a rather densely populated area, and is crossed by several railway lines.

Course

The Inya has its sources in a ridge in the central part of the Kuznetsk Basin, and flows through Kemerovo Olast in a mainly westerly direction, then enters Novosibirsk Oblast and finally joins the Ob, just 5km (03miles) southeast of downtown Novosibirsk.

At the village of Beryosovka, some 30km (20miles) from its mouth, the river's average discharge is 470m3/s. The minimum discharge in February is 8.6m3/s, and the maximum is in May at 195m3/s. Near the mouth the river is some 60m (200feet) wide and 1.5m (04.9feet) deep.

Its main tributaries are the Kasma, Ur and Bachat. The river freezes over in the beginning of November, and stays frozen till the spring thaw starts in mid-April.
