The Nora (Russian: Нора) is a river in Amur Oblast, Russia. It is the 2nd longest tributary of the Selemdzha after the Ulma, with a length of 305 kilometres (190 mi) and the first in drainage basin area, with 16,700 square kilometres (6,400 sq mi). The name originated in "nehru", the Evenki word for "grayling".
The river flows across a desolate, uninhabited area. The Lower Nora Zakaznik (Нижне-Норский заказник) is a protected area for the Siberian roe deer that was established in 2010 in the lower basin of the river.




Course


The Nora is a right tributary of the Selemdzha. It has its origin in the southern slopes of the Dzhagdy Range. In its upper reaches the Nora flows fast among pebbles and boulders in a roughly SW direction across the Amur-Zeya Plateau. Then in its lower course it bends southwards entering a floodplain and flowing among a very marshy area dotted with lakes. Finally it meets the Selemdzha upstream from the mouth of the Orlovka (Mamyn), 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the village of Norsk, Selemdzhinsky District.
Owing to the proximity of mountain ranges the Nora river basin is affected by heavy snowfall in the winter. The climate is harsh, with severe frosts in January, where the temperature may sink to −52 °C (−62 °F). There is thick permafrost in the basin. The river freezes in late October and stays under ice until early May. Summers are humid and warm, with temperatures reaching 34 °C (93 °F) in July.
The main tributaries of the Nora are the Dugda, the longest one, from the right, and the Meun (Mevon) and Egor from the left.




Fauna


Besides the grayling that gives its name to the river, Amur pike, Amur ide, lenok, taimen and silver carp are among the common fish species in the waters of the Nora river.

Nora River is a waterway in the north of Spain, a tributary of the Nalón River that flows through Asturias. It is one of the longest tributaries of Asturias.
Beginning in Valvidares, Sariego, it continues through the concejos of Siero and Noreña. In its final kilometers, it serves as a natural border between Oviedo and Llanera first, and between Oviedo and Las Regueras later. It is located between Priañes (Oviedo), Santa María de Grado (Grado) and Tahoces (Las Regueras). Near its outlet, the landscape is beautiful. The dam of the Priañes reservoir and the hydroelectric power station of the same name are owned by HC Energía. Sofoxo is a cave on the river's right bank; it was discovered by Count de la Vega del Sella. The Roman bridge, Puente del Romanon, spans the river at Pola de Siero, east of Oviedo.
