The river is a major water source for Georgia and South Carolina. The constituents of the river include sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus. There are several tributaries that flow into the Savannah River, including the Little River, the Broad River, and the Ogeechee River. There are also several dams along the river, including the J. Strom Thurmond Dam and the Hartwell Dam. The flow of the river varies seasonally, with higher flows during the winter and spring months due to increased rainfall. Interestingly, the Savannah River is home to several species of fish, including the rare shortnose sturgeon.
