Aurajoki, River waterway in southwestern Finland
The Aura River stretches 70 kilometers from Oripää through multiple municipalities, featuring eleven rapids before reaching the Archipelago Sea in Turku.
The river banks contain settlements dating back 6000 years, marking one of the earliest inhabited regions in southwestern Finland.
The name Aura carries dual meanings: a waterway in ancient Swedish and a plow in Finnish, reflecting the agricultural heritage of the region.
Secondary waterworks near Halinen rapids extract water from the river, providing reserve tap water for the entire Turku metropolitan area.
The river's water maintains a brown color due to agricultural sediment runoff, yet sustains salmon populations following environmental improvements since the 1970s.
