Brda (river)

The Brda (; ) is a river in northwestern Poland, a tributary of the Vistula. It has a total length of 245 km and a catchment area (all within Poland) of 4,665 km².
Navigation.
The Brda is part of the Odra-Vistula waterway, connecting these two rivers via the Warta and Noteć Rivers and the Bydgoszcz Canal
since end of the 18th century. The waterway is navigable for modest barges (of CEMT Class II) but with a limited draught.
With the expansion of the European Union to the East, the waterway could play an important role. It is a link in the much longer connection with Eastern Europe via the Vistula, Narew, Bug, Mukhavets, Pripyat, and Dnieper Rivers, but this connection remains unnavigable due to a dam near Brest, Belarus.
Currently, only limited numbers of vessels use the Brda River and the adjacent canal
