Smotrych (river)

The Smotrych (; ) is a left tributary of the Dniester, flowing through the Podillia upland of western Ukraine. Its length is 168&nbsp;km (104&nbsp;mi), and its drainage basin covers 1,800&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> (694&nbsp;mi<sup>2</sup>). The average width of the river is 10–15 meters wide, and at one point exceeds 40 m.

The river is particularly notable for its tall banks, which give it a ravinelike appearance. It is used for water supply, irrigation, and fishing. A small hydroelectric station is situated on it, as well as the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi, the urban-type settlement Smotrych and the town of Horodok (Khmelnytskyi Oblast).
