About the hardware river


The Hardware River is a 31-mile-long river located in central Virginia, United States. It originates in Albemarle County and flows through Nelson County before joining the James River. The river has a rich history dating back to the early European settlement of the region. Today, it is primarily used for agricultural purposes, including irrigation and livestock watering. There are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including the Ragged Mountain Reservoir and the Sugar Hollow Reservoir, which provide drinking water to Charlottesville and Albemarle County. The Hardware River also offers recreational opportunities such as fishing, kayaking, and hiking along its banks. The river's hydrology is affected by the surrounding topography, and the water quality is regularly monitored to ensure its safety for human and animal consumption.
