The Savannah River impacts millions of lives through providing drinking water, hydro and nuclear power, and recreational activities; and, of course, the river is home to one of the busiest sea ports in the nation. Beginning in Hart County and extending more than 300 miles to the Atlantic Ocean, the Savannah River touches 27 counties in the state of Georgia and helps create some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world.
South of Augusta we begin our efforts to improve water quality, conserve, preserve, and restore land quality. These efforts begin in northern Screven County and Briar Creek, to Effingham county Ebenezer Creek, Runs Branch, Cowpen Branch, Turkey Branch, and oxbows on the Savannah River near Clyo and into Savannah and systems from Augusta to Savannah in the Lower Savanah water shed.
