Chernaya River

The Chernaya River flows into the Sestroretsky Razliv, an artificial reservoir created in the 1720s after the course of the Sestra River was diverted, into which the Chernaya previously flowed. The river is spanned by automobile and railway bridges between the settlements of Pesochny and Dibuny, a bridge on Sovetskaya Street, and an iron footbridge on the Leninskaya ecological trail. A hydrometeorological observation station operated on the bridge at the Dibuny station from 1925 to 1966. The river's annual runoff is formed by 44% snowmelt water, 31% rainwater, and 25% groundwater.
