		If you're motoring up the river in a big rig from the upper end of Lake Marion, which is not a bad option, the point created by the confluence of the Congaree and Wateree rivers is an excellent place to find fish schooling during the summer.
		The spot was at the upper end of a deep hole where the shoreline was very steep on that side of the river, and then began to taper off to a more gradual slope as the deep portion of the river began to turn back to the other side.

		Charleston Harbor is located near the middle of the South Carolina coast and is formed by the confluence of the Ashley, Cooper, and Wando Rivers (map, 113k JPEG).
		Of course, a two- or three-dimensional model of the entire harbor, linked to simpler models of the rivers is the ideal, and project personnel were involved in an attempt to develop such a model, but the main focus of this project was the development of the one-dimensional river models.
		The cooperator in this project, the Kershaw County Water and Sewer Authority (KCWSA), is interested in monitoring and modeling the effects of the releases from Wateree Dam on the dissolved oxygen concentrations in the Wateree River.

	Santee River Endangered - UrbanPlanet.org
		(Washington, D.C.) American Rivers and its partner named South Carolina’s Santee River as one of the nation’s Most Endangered Rivers for 2005, citing Santee Cooper’s reluctance to alter hydropower dam operations that are damaging the river and the surrounding forest.
		Instead, most of the water is redirected into the adjacent Cooper River, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean in Charleston harbor.
		With river flows significantly reduced, much of the rich, flooded bottomland forests of the Santee River basin are transforming into an ordinary forest of oaks and sycamores, and many of the river’s back channels have dried up.
