The '''Turya''' ({{langx|ru|Турья́}}) is a river in [Sverdlovsk Oblast](/source/Sverdlovsk_Oblast), [Russia](/source/Russia). It is a right [tributary](/source/tributary) of the [Sosva](/source/Sosva_(river)). It is {{convert|128|km|mi}} long, with a [drainage basin](/source/drainage_basin) of {{convert|1160|km2|mi2}}.<ref name=gvr>{{GVR|196881|Река Турья}}</ref>  

The river has its sources in the boggy regions east of the central [Ural Mountains](/source/Ural_Mountains). It flows eastwards through a relatively open and somewhat boggy landscape, and flows into the Sosva some {{convert|25|km|mi}} east of Krasnoturyinsk. The river is {{convert|10|to|40|m|ft}} wide. It freezes over in late October, and stays frozen until late April or early May. Along the Turya lie the towns of [Krasnoturyinsk](/source/Krasnoturyinsk) and [Karpinsk](/source/Karpinsk).

In 1943 a dam was built across the river at Krasnoturyinsk. The resulting Bogoslovskoye Reservoir is {{convert|18|m|ft}} deep, about {{convert|0.5|km|mi|1}} wide and {{convert|8|km|mi|0}} long, and stretches to the neighbouring town of Karpinsk. Later, more dams were built upstream.

The river is polluted as a result of nearby industries, like the Bogoslovsky Aluminium Plant, a chicken factory, and a power plant, in addition to runoff from the towns of Krasnoturyinsk and Karpinsk.
