Koda (Russia)
River in Russia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Koda (Russian: Кода) is a tributary on the right (north) side of the Angara, 13 km northeast of the city of Kodinsk, in the Kezhemsky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.[1]: fig.2 It is 283 kilometres (176 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 3,890 square kilometres (1,500 sq mi).[2]
The river gave the name to the town of Kodinsk. It is claimed to derive from the Evenki word kada, meaning "cliff".[3]
A seasonal settlement of the same name was the headquarters for the construction of the Boguchany Dam across the Angara, starting 1975.[4] With the filling of the reservoir in 2012, the lower 30 km of the Koda river valley were flooded and are now a branch of the dam's reservoir.[1][5]
