The Om ( Russian: Омь) is a river in the south of the Western Siberian plains in Russia. It is a right tributary of the Irtysh. It is 1,091 kilometres (678 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 52,600 square kilometres (20,300 sq mi). [1] It rises in the Vasyugan Swamp at the border of Novosibirsk and Tomsk oblasts. [2] The name is probably from the word om "quiet" in the language of the Baraba Tatars. [3] The city of Omsk is situated at the confluence of Om and Irtysh. The main tributaries are the Icha, Kama and Tartas. [2]
