Skhodnya River , also known as
Sukhodnya,
Vkhodnya,
Vykhodnya and
Vskhodnya is a
river in the northwest of
Moscow, the second largest tributary (after the
Yauza River) of the
Moskva River. The length of the Skhodnya is 47 km (5 km in Moscow proper). The area of its
basin is 17,2 km² (within the city). The Skhodnya originates near the village of Alabushevo (part of
Zelenograd) and flows into the Moskva River near the

canal, which supplies water from the
Volga River through the Khimki Reservoir (with the help of the Skhodnenskaya hydroelectric plant) to Moscow for sanitary
irrigation.
