The Delinya (Russian: Делинья; Yakut: Дэлинньэ) is a river in Tompo District , Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russian Federation, a right tributary of the Tompo, part of the Aldan / Lena basin. It has a length of 357 kilometres (222 mi) and a drainage basin area of 12,500 square kilometres (4,800 sq mi).[1]
The river flows across a desolate area of Tompo District. The nearest inhabited place is Topolinoye, located by the banks of the Tompo, to the south of its confluence with the Delinya.[2] The name of both the river and the lake is derived from the Even Delinde, meaning "big taimen."[3]
