Struma (river)

Japanese: ストルマ[川](英語表記)Struma
Struma (river)
A river that flows south from Bulgaria to Greece. It is called the Strymón in Greek and the Kara in Turkish. It originates in the Vitosha Mountains near Sofia, flows south through western Bulgaria, enters Greek territory, and empties into the Strymon Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Grapes and tobacco are cultivated in the river basin, and cities such as Kyustendir and Blagoevgrad are located on its banks. The area that entered Greek territory was swampy, but irrigation and drainage have progressed, and it has become one of the agricultural centers of Greece.

ブルガリアからギリシアへ南下して流れる川。ギリシア語でストリモンStrymón川,トルコ語でカラKara川とよばれる。ソフィアの近く,ビトシャ山地に源を発し,ブルガリア西部を南流してギリシア領に入り,エーゲ海のストリモン湾に注ぐ。流域ではブドウ,タバコが栽培され,河岸にキュステンディール,ブラゴエフグラートなどの都市がある。ギリシア領に入ったところは沼沢地だったが灌漑,排水がすすみ,ギリシアの農業中心の一つとなっている。
