Nimelen
The Nimelen () is a river in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia. It is the longest tributary of the Amgun, with a length of and a drainage basin area of . The Nimelen flows across a desolate, uninhabited area where the climate is harsh. Course The Nimelen is a left tributary of the Amgun. It has its origin in the eastern slopes of the Yam-Alin, at the confluence of mountain rivers Mata and Seyamni-Makit. In the upper course the river flows roughly southeastwards within a narrow valley in the area of the Yam-Alin. The river channel is rocky, with frequent rapids. After leaving the mountain area, the Nimelen flows first northeastwards across the Nimelen-Chukchagir Lowland and its valley expands. The river then bends and flows roughly southwards, while it meanders and divides into branches within a wide floodplain with marshes and numerous lakes. Finally it meets the Amgun to the northeast of imeni Poliny Osipenko, the capital of the Imeni Poliny Osipenko District, from the Amgun's mouth in the Amur. Tributaries The main tributaries of the Nimelen are the long Upagda and the long Kerby from the right, and the long Omal from the left. Flora and fauna The vegetation cover of
