Granite-steppe lands of Buh in the context of Southern Bug

The Southern Bug, also called Southern Buh (Ukrainian: Південний Буг, romanizedPivdennyi Buh; Russian: Южный Буг, romanizedYuzhny Bug; Crimean Tatar: Aq Suv; Romanian: Bugul de Sud or just Bug), and sometimes Boh River (Ukrainian: Бог; Polish: Boh), is a navigable river located in Ukraine. It is the second-longest river flowing exclusively in Ukraine.

While located in relatively close proximity, the river should not be confused with Western Bug or Bug which flows in opposite direction towards Baltics. The source of the Southern Bug is in the west of Ukraine, in the Volhynian-Podolian Upland, about 145 kilometres (90 miles) from the Polish border, from where it flows southeasterly into the Bug Estuary (Black Sea basin) through the southern steppes (see Granite-steppe lands of Buh park). It is 806 kilometres (501 miles) long and drains 63,700 square kilometres (24,600 sq mi).
