Its basin covers 2,560 km², about the size of LU. 89,000 people live in it. Highest water: March; lowest: from December to February. No large dam holds it back: it is one of the world's free-flowing rivers.

Cheremosh River, month by month
Highest water: March
Lowest water: from December to February. Freezing months (average below −4 °C): January. Best months to visit: from May to September.
From about 11 m³/s in the lowest month to 120 m³/s in the highest. An estimate: the monthly flow is modelled from the lowest and highest months of WaterGAP (RiverATLAS, 1971–2000) and the rain and snow along the river (WorldClim). Dams change the real rhythm. The chip is the average air temperature; below it, the month's rain.
