The river is fed by several major tributaries, including the Yellow River and the Flint River, and is impounded by several dams, including the Buford Dam which forms Lake Lanier. Seasonal trends show that the river experiences higher flows in the spring and lower flows in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Chattahoochee River has been the subject of controversy due to water allocation between Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.
