The Mati (Russian: Мати) is a river in Okhotsky District, Khabarovsk Krai, Russian Far East. It has a length of 167km (104miles) and a drainage basin of 3530km2. It is a right hand tributary of the Maya.[1]
The Mati flows across uninhabited territory.
The Mati river originates at the confluence of the Levaya Mati and Pravaya Mati mountain rivers in the northern Dzhugdzhur mountain slopes. It heads first roughly westwards and then northwestwards, meandering in the floodplain in its lower course.[2] Finally it flows into the right bank of the Maya 914km (568miles) from its mouth in The Aldan. The river is fed by snow and rain. It freezes around late October and stays frozen until mid May.[3] [4] [5]
The main tributaries of the Mati are the 34km (21miles) long Mira and the 29km (18miles) long Kostyor from the left, as well as the 50km (30miles) long Malinovaya (Machekha), the 44km (27miles) long Cheryomukhovaya (Khusharin) and the 35km (22miles) long Birandya from the right. There are a few lakes close to the river channel in its last stretch.
