The length of the river is 28 km (17 mi) and the basin area 300 square kilometres (120 sq mi). It is fed by majorly snow and ice meltwater (85%) and rains (15%). Average annual discharge is 1.32 m3/s (47 cu ft/s). The maximum flow is 5.72 m3/s (202 cu ft/s) in June, and the minimum - 0.29 m3/s (10 cu ft/s) in February.[1] The flood flows may reach 30 m3/s (1,100 cu ft/s).
