Volga Delta and the Caspian Sea

Published January 24, 2002
Russias Volga River is the largest river system in Europe, draining over 1.3 million square kilometers of catchment area into the Caspian Sea. The brackish Caspian is Earths largest landlocked water body, and its isolation from the worlds oceans has enabled the preservation of several unique animal and plant species. The Volga provides most of the Caspians fresh water and nutrients, and also discharges large amounts of sediment and industrial waste into the relatively shallow northern part of the sea.
