High salinity levels have been recorded at the mouth of the river. Land use in the upper catchment is mostly beef cattle production with crops grown in the richer soils downstream.
The highest recorded flood was in 1970 when the river reached 7.25 metres (23.8ft) at the Bowen Pumping Station. The river delta is particularly vulnerable to flooding during cyclones.
The Don (Russian:Дон;IPA:[don]) is one of the major rivers of Russia. It rises in the town of Novomoskovsk60 kilometres (37mi) southeast of Tula (120km south of Moscow, and flows for a distance of about 1,950kilometres (1,220mi) to the Sea of Azov.
From its source, the river first flows southeast to Voronezh, then southwest to its mouth. The main city on the river is Rostov on Don. Its main tributary is the Seversky Donets.
The Don basin is situated between the Dnieper basin to the west, the Volga basin to the east, and the Oka basin (tributary of the Volga) to the north.
History
In antiquity, the river was viewed as the border between Europe and Asia by some ancient Greek geographers. In the Book of Jubilees, it is mentioned as being part of the border, beginning with its easternmost point up to its mouth, between the allotments of sons of Noah, that of Japheth to the north and that of Shem to the south. During the times of the old Scythians it was known in Greek as the Tanaïs (Τάναϊς) and has been a major trading route ever since. Tanais appears in ancient Greek sources as both the name of the river and of a city on it, situated in the Maeotian marshes.
Pliny gives the Scythian name of the Tanais as Silys.
A new waterfront city is coming into view, thanks to the transformational flood protection work in the Port Lands. With the removal of “north plug”, the new Don River can flow freely into Lake Ontario and a new island is born. This historic feat of engineering is made possible through tri-government collaboration. Flood protection is the catalyst to revitalize the eastern waterfront, an area that will be home to over 100,000 people and a destination for 97,000 jobs. Next year, we will open the biggest Toronto park in a generation. Learn more about how this innovative project unlocks a new waterfront city in this video.

Pulling the Plug: How we’ll reconnect the Don River to the Lake
In February 2024, we flooded the new river that we built in the Port Lands. Over the summer, we removed the ‘west plug’, which separated the new part of the river from the Lake. Now, we’re starting to remove the North Plug, which will allow the existing Don River to flow through the new river valley. This work will take a little while, and a lot of it will happen underwater. Don Forbes is here to explain how it’s done.

How Russian servicemen are ferrying equipment across the Don River
With the help of the state-of-the-art PP-2005M pontoon-bridge, the servicemen managed to bridge 400m of heavy equipment across the riverbank in just one hour. The PTS-2 floating transporter was also used to transfer personnel and equipment. The main forces of motorized rifle and tank units were transferred to the opposite bank on BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles, APC-82A and T-90 tanks.
