The Poltva River (Template:Lang-uk; Template:Lang-pl) is a river in the western Ukrainian Oblast of Lviv and a tributary of the Bug River. The Poltva valley cuts between the Podilian Plateau and Roztichia.[1] The capital of the Lviv Oblast, Lviv, is located on the river.[2] In the 19th century the river was included into the underground sewer system of Lviv.[3]
The river has faced significant problems with pollution.[4]
