History reference
The territory of the modern Khabarovsk Territory began to be settled by Russians in the 17th century. At the end of the 17th century, due to the aggression of the Qing Empire, the development of the region was interrupted. In 1689, the Nerchinsk Treaty was signed, under the terms of which the Russians left the left bank of the Amur. In 1860, the Nerchinsk Treaty was signed, which returned the lands to the Russians.
During the war with Japan in 1904-1905, the region was closed. In 1920, the Far Eastern Republic was created, and then the Far Eastern Territory. In 1938, the Khabarovsk Territory was formed.

Note to the tourist
Gulrypsh - holiday destination for celebrities
There is an urban-type settlement Gulrypsh on the Black Sea coast of Abkhazia, the appearance of which is closely connected with the name of the Russian philanthropist Nikolai Nikolaevich Smetsky. In 1989, due to the illness of his wife, they needed to change the climate. Case decided the case.Khabarovsk Krai is located in the east of the Russian Federation and administratively belongs to the Far Eastern Federal District. From the east, the Khabarovsk Territory is washed by the Japanese and, in the northeast it borders on the Magadan Region, in the west - with China, the Jewish Autonomous and Amur Regions, in the northwest - with the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
It is separated from Sakhalin Island by the Tatar Strait and the Nevelskoy Strait. The region, in addition to the mainland, includes a number of islands, the largest of which are the Shantar Islands. The total length of the coastline of the region is about 2500 km, including the islands - 3390 km.
The northern border of the region is 430 km away from the Arctic Circle, and the southern border is practically on the same parallel with the Japanese island of Hokkaido, American Portland or Russian Rostov-on-Don.
The Khabarovsk Territory is elongated in the meridional direction for 1800 km, and from west to east - for 125÷750 km. The territory of the region is 788,600 km², which is 4.5% of the entire territory of Russia.
About three-quarters of the area of the Khabarovsk Territory is occupied by plateaus and mountains that are part of the vast mountain systems and ranges of Dzhugdzhur, Badzhal, Sikhote-Alin, Khingan and others. Mountain relief prevails in 70% of the territory of the region.
Located in the temperate latitudes of East Asia. Within the Amur basin, there are four physiographic zones: forest (with subzones of coniferous-deciduous forests, middle and southern taiga), forest-steppe, steppe and semi-desert (with the northern subzone of semi-deserts and the subzone of dry steppes). The amount of annual precipitation varies from 250-300 mm in the most arid southwestern part of the Amur headwaters basin to 750 mm in the southeastern part of the Sikhote-Alin ridge.
The Amur is formed by the confluence of the Shilka and Argun rivers (the eastern tip of the Mad Island is considered to be the beginning of the river). The length of the river is 2824 kilometers from the confluence of the Shilka and Argun rivers to its confluence with the Amur Estuary. Regarding the belonging of the Amur estuary to the Sakhalin Bay and, consequently, the Sea of Okhotsk, or to the Tatar Strait and, accordingly, to the Sea of Japan, the opinions of various authors differ - the TSB refers the Amur estuary to the Sea of Japan, and the International Hydrographic Organization - to the Sea of Okhotsk. TSB indicates that the mouth of the Amur is considered to be the alignment of the Ozerpakh and Pronge capes at the outlet of the Amur to the Amur Estuary. The length of the Onon-Shilka-Amur system is 4,279 km. From the source of Hailar - Argun to the mouth of the Amur - 4049 kilometers. From the source of the Kerulen River, through the Argun and to the mouth of the Amur - 5,052 km.
It is located within three states - Russia (995 thousand km², about 54% of the territory), also China (44.2%) and Mongolia (1.8%). The Russian sector of the river basin, in turn, can be divided into two unequal parts - the Siberian, which includes the corresponding sections of the basins of the Shilka and Argun rivers, and the Far East, within which essentially the entire Amur valley is located - the left bank of the upper and middle Amur and the entire lower Amur, with tributary basins corresponding to these sections.
In accordance with the Russian pilotage, the Amur is divided into: the upper Amur - to Blagoveshchensk; the middle Amur - from Blagoveshchensk to Khabarovsk and the lower Amur - below Khabarovsk.
river hydrology
In terms of basin area (1,855 thousand km²), the Amur ranks fourth among the rivers of Russia (after the Yenisei, Ob and Lena) and tenth among the world's rivers. The average annual water consumption is 9819 m³/s in the area of Komsomolsk-on-Amur, 11400 m³/s in the area of the mouth.
According to the features of the valley, the river is divided into three main sections: the upper Amur (to the mouth of the Zeya River; 883 kilometers), the speed of the flow is 5.3 km / h, the middle Amur (from the mouth of the Zeya River to the mouth of the Ussuri River inclusive; 975 kilometers), the speed of the flow 5.5 km / h and the lower Amur (from the mouth of the Ussuri River to Nikolaevsk-on-Amur; 966 kilometers), the speed of the current is 4.2 km / h. The most important feature of the hydrological regime of the Amur is significant fluctuations in the water level, caused almost exclusively by summer-autumn monsoon rains, which account for up to 75% of the annual runoff. Level fluctuations in the riverbed relative to the low water range from 10-15 meters in the upper and middle, and up to 6-8 in the lower Amur. At the same time, during the most severe showers, spills on the middle and lower Amur can reach 10–25 kilometers and last up to 70 days. After the construction of hydropower facilities on the main tributaries of the Zeya, Bureya and Sungari, the summer-autumn floods on the river are less pronounced and in the lower reaches of the river the level changes are 3–6 m.

Surface water resources
The watershed between the Pacific and the Arctic Ocean passes through the territory of the Khabarovsk Territory. Water bodies belong to the basins of rivers flowing into the Sea of Okhotsk and the Tatar Strait of the Pacific Ocean (basins of the Amur, Uda, Taui, Tumnin, Ini, Okhota and others) and into the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea of the Arctic Ocean (basins of the Lena, Kolyma and, slightly, Indigirki).

The river network is well developed in the mountainous areas, and insufficiently developed in the plain parts of the region. Most of the rivers of the Khabarovsk Territory in the upper and middle reaches have the character of mountain rivers, flow in narrow and deep valleys, are characterized by fast flow, rapids channel; when they enter the plains, they acquire the appearance of lowland rivers, which are characterized by wide valleys and highly branched channels, a weak current. The feeding of the rivers of the Khabarovsk Territory is predominantly rain-fed (60–85%). The water regime of most rivers corresponds to the Far Eastern type, which is characterized by a low extended flood, high rain floods in the summer-autumn period, sometimes causing catastrophic floods, and low winter low water. The rivers freeze on average at the end of October - in November, and open up in mid-April.
