The state's major surface flows include the Savannah River, Santee River, and Cooper River, which all flow into the Atlantic Ocean. There are several major reservoirs and dams in the state, including the Lake Marion, Lake Murray, and Lake Moultrie. The state's hydrology is heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, as well as by the Appalachian Mountains in the western part of the state.
