The Kama ((ロシア語:река́ Ка́ма), ; ; ) is a major river in Russia, the longest left tributary of the Volga and the largest one in discharge; it is larger than the Volga before junction. It starts in the Udmurt Republic, near Kuliga, flowing northwest for , turning northeast near Loyno for another 200 kilometres, then turning south and west in Perm Krai, flowing again through the Udmurt Republic and then through the Republic of Tatarstan, where it meets the Volga. The Kama is long. Before the advent of the railroads, the Kama was connected by important portages with the basins of the Northern Dvina and the Pechora. In the early 19th century, Northern Ekaterininsky Canal connected the upper Kama with the Vychegda River (a tributary of the Northern Dvina), but was mostly abandoned after just a few years due to low use. The Kama was featured in the 2013 Russian film ''The Geographer Drank His Globe Away'', in the climactic rapids scene. ==Dams and reservoirs== The Kama is dammed at several locations: *At Perm, by the dam of the Kama Hydroelectric Station, forming the Kama Reservoir; *At Chaykovsky, by the dam of the Votkinsk Hydroelectric Station, forming the Votkinsk Reservoir; *At Naberezhnye Chelny, by the dam of the Nizhnekamsk Hydroelectric Station, forming the Nizhnekamsk Reservoir. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kama River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
