The Konka, also known as the Kinka, Kinska, or Kinski Vody[a] is a left tributary of the Dnieper, flowing through Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine. It is 146 km (91 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 2,580 km2 (1,000 sq mi). It originates in the Azov Upland and flows into the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnieper. The cities of Polohy and Orikhiv are located on the river.[1]
The name is a calque of the Crimean Tatar name of the river Yilki Su, which means "water of wild horses".[2]
