Zhovti Vody (Ukrainian: Жовті Води, Ukrainian pronunciation: [ˈʒɔwtʲi ˈwɔdɪ]; Polish: Żółte Wody; Russian: Жёлтые Воды, lit. Yellow Waters) is a town in south-central Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (province). Administratively, it is incorporated within Zhovti Vody municipality as a town of oblast significance, the status equivalent to that of a raion (district). Zhovti Vody is located on the Yellow River (Ukrainian: Річка Жовта) approximately 130 km (81 mi) west of the oblast's administrative center, Dnipropetrovsk. Population: 47,509 (2013 est.).
It is a center for the extraction and processing of uranium ore.
The historic Battle of Zhovti Vody was fought on the site of the present-day city.
The area has been referred to by the term Zhovti Vody (literally "yellow waters") since before the founding of the first village on the site in 1895.
