Zay, River and natural monument in Tatarstan, Russia
The Zay River extends for 219 kilometers through Tatarstan, forming a significant tributary of the Kama River with a drainage basin of 5,020 square kilometers.
The Zay River received official protection status as a natural monument of Tatarstan in 1978, marking a significant step in environmental conservation for the region.
Local communities along the Zay River maintain fishing traditions and celebrate seasonal festivities that connect residents with this essential waterway throughout generations.
Two reservoirs, Zainsk and Karabash, regulate the water flow of the Zay River, providing resources for the settlements of Zainsk, Almetyevsk, and surrounding communities.
The river system includes a section known as Steppe Zay at its headwaters, while the lower 55-kilometer stretch changes its name to simply Zay after merging with Forest Zay.
