The Bug is a left tributary of the [[Narew]]. It flows from the [[Lviv Oblast]] in the west of Ukraine northwards into the [[Volyn Oblast]], before passing along the Ukraine-Polish and [[Polish-Belarusian]] border and into Poland, where it follows part of the border between the [[Masovian Voivodeship|Masovian]] and [[Podlaskie Voivodeship|Podlaskie]] [[Voivodeship]]s. It joins the Narew at [[Serock]], a few kilometers upstream of the artificial [[Zegrze Lake]], which was constructed in 1963 with a hydroelectric complex.<ref name="floodwise">{{cite web | url=http://www.lugv.brandenburg.de/media_fast/4055/final_floodwise_proj.pdf | title=Characteristics and cross-border cooperation within the river basins of the FLOOD-WISE project | publisher=[[Zuyd University of Applied Sciences]] [[Maastricht]], the Netherlands | year=2010 | access-date=29 October 2013 | author1=D.François | author2=J.

This part of the Narew between the confluence and the Vistula is sometimes referred to as [[Narew#Name of the lower portion|Bugo-Narew]] but on December 27, 1962, the Prime Minister of Poland's act abolished the name "Bugo-Narew", soon after Zegrze Lake was completed.<ref name="Monitor">{{in lang|pl}} "Monitor Polski" 1963, nr 3, poz. 6</ref>
