Iput (river)

The Iput, or Iputs (Belarusian: Іпуць, alternative transliteration Ipuć,[2] [iput͡sʲ]; Russian: Ипуть) is a river in Mogilev and Gomel Regions in Belarus and Smolensk and Bryansk Oblasts in Russia.

[3] The area of its basin is 10,900 square kilometres (4,200 sq mi).

It flows east and enters Russia, where it makes the border between Shumyachsky and Yershichsky Districts of Smolensk Oblast.

Downstream of the selo of Korsiki the Iput departs south of the border and flows south through Kletnyansky District, accepts the Nadva from the left, crosses the northern part of Mglinsky District and makes the border between Mglinsky and Surazhsky Districts.

A stretch of the Iput 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of Klintsy is a protected birds sanctuary.
