The Tiasmyn (Ukrainian: Тясмин) is a right tributary of the Dnieper River in Ukraine. It is 161 kilometres (100 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 4,540 square kilometres (1,750 sq mi).[1] The Tiasmyn originates in the north central part of the Dnieper hills in the central Ukrainian province of Kirovohrad. From there it flows through the Cherkasy Oblast, where it finally flows into the Kremenchuk Reservoir. The river forms a U-turn (180°) in its central run. Not counting the river's sharp turn, the river's source and its delta are located only 33 km (21 mi) away from each other.
