The Menzelya (Russian: Мензеля; Tatar: Минзәлә) is a river in Tatarstan, Russian Federation, a former left-bank tributary of the river Ik, which flows into the Nizhnekamsk Reservoir. It is 159 kilometres (99 mi) long, and its drainage basin covers 2,120 square kilometres (820 mi2).[1]
The river's source is at the village Novy Menzelyabash, Sarmanovsky District, Tatarstan. Major tributaries are the Kholodnaya, Kamyshly, Iganya, Urguda rivers.
The maximal mineralization is 400-800 mg/L. The average sediment deposition at the river mouth per year reaches 100 millimetres (3.9 in). The maximal discharge is 215 cubic metres per second (7,600 cu ft/s). Drainage is regulated. Since 1978 it is protected as a natural monument of Tatarstan.[2]
The town of Menzelinsk is located near the river's mouth. The notable landmark of the river and the town is an abandoned railway bridge, where the railway was never installed.
