GEORGIA FLOW REPORT

Last Updated: December 28, 2025

Streamflow levels across Georgia are currently 57.0% of normal, with the Savannah River At Fort Pulaski reporting the highest discharge in the state with 160000cfs and gauge stage of 3.23 ft. Meanwhile, the Savannah River At Ga 25 is seeing a spike in streamflows today after experiencing a 2637.93% increase since yesterday, and currently running at 39700cfs.

Maximum gauge stage in the state was last observed at the Chattahoochee River Below Morgan Falls Dam, currently reporting a stage of 810.88ft. The Chattahoochee River At Buford Dam in the Upper Chattahoochee watershed is surging for this time of year at 636cfs, about 37.82% of normal.

       



Georgia is a state with a humid subtropical climate, and receives ample rainfall throughout the year. Major surface flows include the Chattahoochee, Flint, and Ocmulgee Rivers, which are fed by numerous tributaries. Major reservoirs and dams, including Lake Lanier and Hartwell Lake, provide hydroelectric power and recreation opportunities. The state's hydrology is impacted by various factors, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and land use changes. Watershed data shows that the Chattahoochee River basin is the largest in the state, covering over 8,700 square miles. Snowpack is not a significant contributor to the state's hydrology, but occasional winter storms can impact water availability. Overall, Georgia's hydrology is shaped by its climate, topography, and water management practices.
