The Ambarnaya (Russian: Амбарная, lit.'barn girl') is a river in Siberia which flows in a northerly direction into Lake Pyasino. On leaving Lake Pyasino, the waters emerge as the river Pyasina. It shares a common delta with the river Norilskaya. It is 60 kilometres (37 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 428 square kilometres (165 sq mi).[2]

The river is fed by rain and meltwater.[3] It is shallow and its bed consists of glacial morainegravel and pebbles.[4] It is heavily polluted by the mining industry of Norilsk, namely Nornickel, so fishing is no longer possible.[5]

Diesel spill

In May 2020, 20,000 tonnes of diesel fuel spilt into the river from a power plant. With a 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) stretch of river seriously affected, Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, declared a state of emergency.[6][1][7]
