The river is fed by several smaller tributaries, including the Broad and Little rivers, and is regulated by the J. Strom Thurmond Dam upstream. The flow of the river varies seasonally, with higher levels in winter and spring due to increased precipitation and snowmelt. Interestingly, during the summer months, the river's flow is influenced by tides from the Atlantic Ocean, causing a fluctuation of up to one foot in water level. The Savannah River is also home to a diverse range of aquatic life, including striped bass, Atlantic sturgeon, and manatees.
