Drama is a river in Poland and a right tributary of the Kłodnica,[1] with a length of 25.11 kilometres (15.60 mi).[2]
General information
[edit]
The Drama flows through the Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. It originates in Tarnowskie Góry, in the Repty Śląskie district (Nowe Repty), near Srebrna Góra, close to the Segiet Nature Reserve.[3] In its upper reaches within Repty, it is also known as "Rów Repecki" (Repty Ditch) or "Potok Repecki" (Repty Stream).[3] After leaving Tarnowskie Góry, the river flows through Gmina Zbrosławice. In the fields of Ptakowice, below the park, it receives an artificial left tributary, Potok Czarnego Pstrąga (Black Trout Stream), a discharge from the Black Trout Adit.[4]
Historically, the river began in the Segiet Forest, south of the Segiet colony and the former Segiet forester's lodge, as evidenced by fluvial sediments on geological maps.[5] Today, its channel starts in Nowe Repty. In Stare Repty, the Drama is fed by water from the karstic Youth Spring.[3] It then flows through the historic Repty Park and the Nature and Landscape Complex "Park in Repty and the Drama River Valley", where its valley is approximately 20 metres (66 ft) deep relative to surrounding areas. At the park's outlet, it receives a right tributary, Starotarnowicki Potok (Starotarnowicki Stream), also known as "Rów Starotarnowicki".[3]
The Drama joins the Kłodnica in Dzierżno Dolne on the lands of Taciszów, just beyond the Gliwice Canal.[6]
