The Nyuya (; Yakut: Ньүүйэ, Ñüüye) is a river in Sakha, Russia. It is a left tributary of the Lena. The length of the river is 798km (496miles). The area of its basin is 38100km2.
The Nyuya has its source in the Lena Plateau and flows south of the course of the Peleduy.[1] In its lower course it flows to the west of the Derba as it reaches the Lena floodplain and flows slowly, meandering in a swampy area. Finally it meets the Lena 2420km (1,500miles) from its mouth. There are over 600 lakes in the river basin.[2] [3]
The main tributaries of the Nyuya are the 141km (88miles) long Tympychan, the 181km (112miles) long Khamaky, the 201km (125miles) long Ulakhan-Murbayy, the 190km (120miles) long Ochchuguy-Murbayy, and the 173km (107miles) long Betinche. The Nyuya freezes up in the second half of October and stays icebound until May.[4] [5] [6]
