Southern Bug
The Southern Bug, also known as the Southern Buhand and sometimes as the Boh River, is a navigable river in Ukraine. It is Ukraine's eighth longest river in Ukraine.
The river's headwaters are in western Ukraine, in the Volyn-Podillia Upland, about 145 kilometers (90 miles) from the Polish border, from which it flows southeasterly into the Bug Estuary (Black Sea basin) via the southern steppes. It stretches for 806 kilometers (501 miles) and drains an area of 63,700 square kilometers (24,600 sq mi).
Khmelnytskyi, Khmilnyk, Vinnytsia, Haivoron, Pervomaisk, Voznesensk, and Mykolaiv are major cities on the Southern Bug (listed downstream, i.e. southwards).
During World War II, the Southern Bug formed the border between German-occupied Ukraine and the Romanian-occupied part of Ukraine known as Transnistria. At Khmelnytskyi in October 2020, the Southern Bug was stocked with 350 kilograms of Hungarian carp and 50 kilograms of silver carp.
