Egeleza eLwandle Ladoga (eduze kweShlisselburg Bay), uMfula iNevva unamaphesenti angama-74 ubude (32 kuwo odlula ngaphakathi komuzi waseSt. Petersburg). Umfula ugeleza ungene eGulf of Finland oLwandle lwaseBaltic (olubhekene nesango lomfula waseSt. Petersburg eduze neNeva Bay).
I-Neva iqala ngemikhono emibili ezungeze isiqhingi esincane esiphezulu sase-Oreshek, esidume ngokuba yiNqabeni yeSchlisselburg. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuneziqhingi ezimbili ngaphezulu emfuleni (hhayi ukubala i-delta): I-Factory - eduze kwedolobha laseShlisselburg, noGlavryba - emaphandleni ase-Ivanovo (phakathi kwabakwa-Mga naseTosno). Umlomo womfula, onamabonakude angu-101, kanye namagatsha amaningi neziteshi, udala i-delta enezindawo eziphelele ngamakhilomitha angama-50 square. Umfula ugeleza ungene emifuleni emifula engu-26, enkulu kunazo zonke yiMga, Izhora, Tosna, Ohta. Amabhange e-Neva, ikakhulukazi ngakwesobunxele, anabantu abaningi. Kuwo wonke umfula kunamadolobha amane (eSt. Petersburg, eShlisselburg, eKrovsk, eOtradnoe), kanye nasezindaweni ezincane ezingamashumi amathathu.
Umfula iNeva ungumfula ojulile futhi olinganiselwe, ofanele ukuthunyelwa kulo lonke ubude bawo. Ububanzi obuphakathi komfula buvela kumamitha angu-400 kuya kwangu-600. Endaweni encane kunazo zonke (ekuqaleni kwama-rapids e-Ivanov, ahlukene neCape Svyatky), ububanzi bayo bungamamitha angu-210 nje kuphela, futhi e-delta - engaphezu kwekhilomitha. Kuwo wonke ubude bayo uMfula iNevva unamamitha ayisishiyagalombili kuya kwangu-10. Indawo ejulile kakhulu (i-24 m) - eSt. Petersburg, eduze nebhange elingakwesokudla, elibhekene nomgwaqo. I-Arsenalnoy. Okuncane kunazo zonke (ama-4 m.) - ezinqoleni ze-Ivanovo. Naphezu kwemehluko encane, cishe amamitha amahlanu, ukugeleza komfula kuyashesha (5-8 km / h). I-Neva igxuma phakathi nango-Disemba futhi ikhishwa kusukela eqhweni phakathi no-Ephreli. Futhi emva kokuhamba kweqhwa lokuqala emfuleni kukhona okwesibili - ukuhamba kweqhwa eLwandle Ladoga, ngokuvamile kudala ama-ice jams.
Kukholelwa ukuthi umfula uNeva wathola igama layo kusukela ngegama lesiFinnish elithi "Nevajoki" ("umfula omanzi") ngenxa yokuthi kunezinambuzane eziningi emabhange ayo, ikakhulukazi emlonyeni. Ukhetho lwesibili lususelwa egameni leSami "wena" ("inkani", "umzila we-inter-oozernaya"). Kuzo zombili izimo, incazelo yomfula negama layo lihambisana ngokugcwele.
Emaphethelweni ayo, kwakukhona izenzakalo eziningi zomlando: ngoJulayi 1240, impi edumile yamabutho aseRussia namaSweden ngaphansi komyalo weNkosana Alexander Yaroslavovich (kamuva owaqanjwa ngegama elithi Nevsky) yenzeke lapha, ngoMeyi 1703 UPetru nganquma ukwakha inhloko-dolobha yesikhathi esizayo eMbusweni waseRussia, lapha kwakukhona igazi Impi yokuqotshwa kweLeningrad ngesikhathi seMpi Enkulu yezobuzwe.
Ngaso sonke isikhathi, i-Neva ibaluleke kakhulu ebomnothweni. Namuhla isetshenziselwa njengomthombo wamanzi eSt. Petersburg. Kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo, uMfula iNevva ubelokhu umgwaqo omkhulu kunazo zonke kusukela ekuhambeni "ukusuka kuma-Varangi kuya kumaGrike" kuze kube namuhla, okuyisixhumanisi esibaluleke kakhulu ohlelweni lwamanzi oluxhumanisa izifunda eziphakathi kwezwe laseYurophu lamazwe asenyakatho. Ikakhulukazi ukubaluleka kwalo kuye kwanda ngemva kuka-1964 umgwaqo wamanzi waseVolga-Baltic waqala ukusebenza. I-Neva yaqala ukuyibiza ngokuthi "Nevsky Prospekt".
