Akhtuba

The Akhtuba (Russian: А́хтуба); also transliterated Achtuba on some maps) is a left distributary of the Volga in southern Russia.

The river is 537 kilometres (334 mi) long; the average water flow is 153 cubic metres per second (5,400 cu ft/s).

The capital of the Golden Horde, Sarai Batu, was most likely located along the Akhtuba as well, not far from Kharabali.

[citation needed] The area between the Volga and the Akhtuba is known as the Volga-Akhtuba plain, which is one of Russia's primary vegetable-growing regions.
