The Zuya (Crimean Tatar: Zuya, Зуя; Ukrainian: Зуя; Russian: Зуя) is a river in Crimea, Ukraine, a tributary of the Salhyr river, draining into the Sea of Azov basin. The river is 49 kilometres long with a catchment area of 421 square kilometres. The slope is 13.0 metres per kilometre. In its upper reaches, the valley is V-shaped, and further downstream, it becomes trough-shaped, with a width of 0.6-2 kilometres. The riverbed is winding, with a width of 1-5 metres. During low-water years, it may dries up. The river is used for irrigation purposes, and for this purpose, the Balonov Reservoir has been constructed.
