The Ufa (Russian: Уфа, Bashkir: Ҡариҙел, Qaridhel, Qaraidel, literally The Black Idel) is a river in the Ural Mountains, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Sverdlovsk Oblast, and the Republic of Bashkortostan; a right tributary of the river Belaya.[1][2] It is 918 kilometres (570 mi) long, and its basin covers 53,100 square kilometres (20,500 sq mi).[3] It freezes up between late October and early December and stays under the ice until April or May.

Tributaries
The largest tributaries of the Ufa are, from source to mouth:[3]
gollark: It is a shame there's no systemd alternative which has the unit files and other nice stuff but no ridiculous amount of daemons and overintegration of everything.
gollark: IRC just doesn't have a mechanism for editing. Discord does and bots can edit their own messages.
gollark: Mostly just running the CPU in low-power mode instead of actually suspending?
gollark: How do existing devices do standby and stuff?
gollark: And a taser to deal with the TSA.
