The Taui river, as the Kava, is formed at an elevation of at the confluence of rivers Rasava and Lozovaya flowing from the
Kheidzhan Range,
Upper Kolyma Highlands. The Taui flows first southeastwards and then roughly eastwards along the Kava-Taui Plain (Кава-Тауйская равнина), a wide
floodplain. In its last stretch it enters an area of
wetlands. Finally it flows into the Amakhton Bay, part of the
Taui Bay of the
Sea of Okhotsk. Its mouth lies west of the
Arman lagoon and just southwest of the mouth of the
Yana. The river freezes before mid October and stays frozen until mid May. The Kheidzhan Range separates the Taui basin from the
Inya basin to the west. The main tributary of the Taui is the long
Chyolomdzha (Чёломджа) that joins it in its lower course from the left. ==See also==
