About the cooper river
The Cooper River is a 50-mile-long waterway in South Carolina that originates in the center of the state and flows through Charleston before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. The river has an important history, as it was a major trade route for indigenous communities and European settlers. The Cooper River has two significant reservoirs - the Lake Moultrie and the Lake Marion, which are both regulated by the Santee Cooper project, a major hydroelectricity plant in the state. The river is also known for its recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing. The Cooper River is also used for agricultural purposes, as it provides irrigation for crops such as rice and soybeans. Overall, the Cooper River plays an important role in both the history and modern-day life of South Carolina.
