The number of streams and small tributaries exceeds 1,700. Spring floods cause severe overflow, flooding of floodplains and lowlands. All rivers belong to the Klyazma River basin. The largest rivers are Uvod, Teza, Nerl, Lukh. The largest reservoir is located on the Volga - Gorkovskoye.

The territory of the Ivanovo region is replete with small lakes and swamps. The latter accounts for 1.4 thousand square kilometers. There are a little more than 150 lakes, most of them are located in the south and central part of the region. Not all lakes are of natural origin. Some of them are formed as a result of the extraction of peat and sand. The peat bogs formed by the extraction of raw materials account for more than 45 thousand hectares.

Take away

The river on which the administrative center is located - the city of Ivanovo. The length of the river is 185 kilometers. It flows through the Ivanovo and Vladimir regions. The river is not navigable, rather shallow. Previously used for industrial purposes. Upstream there is a large reservoir - Uvodskoye. Downstream it flows into the Klyazma.

"City of Brides" and "Russian Manchester"

This is what Ivanovo-Voznesensk was called (this was the name the city of Ivanovo had until 1932) in the Russian Empire. Flax and hemp grow well on the loamy soils of the Ivanovo region. Thanks to the availability of raw materials, Ivanovo-Voznesensk became the largest textile center in Russia, maintaining its status both in the USSR and in post-Soviet times. The glory of the “city of brides” that has developed behind this beautiful Central Russian city is also understandable. The demand for the seamstress profession in Ivanovo is stable, so girls from all over the country went to the city on Uvodi to work as weavers and dressmakers. But it cannot be said that the gender balance in Ivanovo is heavily skewed towards the fair sex. Rather, the “city of brides” is a brand of the 37th region.

In the Russian Empire, Ivanovo-Voznesensk was not a provincial city, and not even a district one - it belonged to the Shuisky district of the Vladimir province and was the largest provincial city in the Empire. Now Shuya is the regional center of the Ivanovo region. The Ivanovo region itself was created in several stages - through the creation of the Ivanovo industrial region and its division. Now the Ivanovo region includes areas of the former Vladimir and Kostroma provinces. The final boundaries of the Ivanovo region were formed in 1994, when the Sokolsky district, separated from the rest of the region by the Gorky Reservoir, became part of the Nizhny Novgorod region. For more than 10 years, in order to call from Nizhny Novgorod to Sokolskoye, you had to dial the Ivanovo intercity code, and the registration plate of region 37 in Sokolskoye is not so rare. The transport infrastructure of the Ivanovo region has great prospects for development. Its main hubs are Ivanovo and Kineshma. The kilometer of highways in region 37 is 5,244 km, of which 5,017 km are paved. Despite the fact that the Ivanovo region is located quite advantageously for transit - it borders the Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir, Kostroma and Yaroslavl regions, “region 37” is not yet using its potential sufficiently. However, thanks to the commissioning of the bridge across the Volga in Kineshma, the Ivanovo region has great prospects as a transit region between Siberia and the Far East, the Middle and Lower Volga region, on the one hand, and the North and North-West of Russia, on the other.
