The Bečva (Czech pronunciation: [ˈbɛtʃva]; German: Betschwa, Betsch) is a river in the Czech Republic, a left tributary of the Morava River. It flows through the Olomouc and Zlín regions. It is formed by the confluence of the Vsetínská Bečva and Rožnovská Bečva rivers. Together with the Vsetínská Bečva, which is its main source, the Bečva is 121.0 km (75.2 mi) long, which makes it the 16th longest river in the Czech Republic. Without the Vsetínská Bečva, it is 61.6 km (38.3 mi) long.

Etymology

The name is derived from the old Czech words bek, beč (literally 'cry'), meaning 'loud river'.[1]

Characteristic

Confluence of the Vsetínská Bečva and Rožnovská Bečva

From a water management point of view, the Bečva and Vsetínská Bečva are two different rivers with separate numbering of river kilometres. In a broader point of view, the Bečva (as Vsetínská Bečva) originates in the territory of Velké Karlovice in the Hostýn-Vsetín Mountains at the elevation of 896 m (2,940 ft) and flows to Tovačov, where it enters the Morava River at the elevation of 195 m (640 ft). It is 121.0 km (75.2 mi) long, which makes it the 16th longest river in the country. Its drainage basin has an area of 8,854.2 km2 (3,418.6 sq mi). The name Bečva is used from the confluence of the Vsetínská Bečva with the Rožnovská Bečva in Valašské Meziříčí and from this point to the confluence with the Morava, the river is 61.6 km (38.3 mi) long.[2][3]

The sources and longest tributaries of the Bečva are:[4]
