Introduction<\/h2>\n

The Yenisei River is one of the longest rivers in the world and is located in Russia and Mongolia. It is a major tributary of the Arctic Ocean, running through the Tuva region before reaching the Arctic Ocean near Khatanga in Far East Russia. The Yenisei is one of the three great Siberian rivers that flow into the Arctic Ocean and it is the second largest tributary of the Arctic Ocean after the Ob. At its maximum length, the Yenisei River is estimated to be 4,093 km. <\/p>\n

The Yenisei has a crucial role in the history and economy of both Mongolia and Russia, as it is an important waterway for both countries, supplying water to towns and villages located along the river. Additionally, it has been used for transportation of people and supplies for centuries. <\/p>\n

The Yenisei has also been an important source of hydroelectric power for both countries. It is connected to several large power plants, including the Sayano-Shushenskaya and Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Stations in Russia, and the Ongon Gol Hydropower Station in Mongolia. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n
