Right tributary of the Dnieper River in Ukraine
At the mouth it carries 18 m³/s on average: an Olympic pool every 136 seconds. It drops from 249 m to 100 m, 0.4 m per kilometre on average. Its basin covers 15,300 km², about the size of TL. 876,000 people live in it. Highest water: from April to May; lowest: from December to February. No large dam holds it back: it is one of the world's free-flowing rivers.

Teteriv, month by month
Highest water: from April to May
Lowest water: from December to February. Freezing months (average below −4 °C): from January to February. Best months to visit: from May to September.
From about 28 m³/s in the lowest month to 190 m³/s in the highest. An estimate: the monthly flow is modelled from the lowest and highest months of WaterGAP (RiverATLAS, 1971–2000) and the rain and snow along the river (WorldClim). Dams change the real rhythm. The chip is the average air temperature; below it, the month's rain.
