Kakva River

Kakva River

Kakva ( _ru. Каква) is a river in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. It is a left tributary of the Sosva (in Ob's drainage basin). The river starts on the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains, and flows eastwards to its confluence with the Sosva. It is 133 km in length.

Along the river lies the town of Serov and the Kiselyovskoye Reservoir, with the small Kiselyovskaya Hydroelectric Plant. Reservoir has been rebuilt after a catastrophic dam break in 1993, which caused major damage in Serov town.
