  South Carolina Catfish Rivers
When Smith fishes rivers with big cats in mind, he locks down the drags on his reels, coaches clients to set the hook like they are trying to yank the fish over the boat, to begin cranking hard immediately and to never let up.
Smith's favorite catfishing rivers are the Congaree and the Wateree, which eventually join forces to form the Santee, and the Santee itself from the confluence of the other two rivers to Lake Marion.
Forming beneath the impounded waters of Lake Wateree, the Wateree River resembles the Congaree in its upper reaches, with fluctuating water levels and a string of rocky shoals at the Fall Line.

 Duke Power - Section 6
Savannah River is the dominate hafted biface type recovered in Late Archaic contexts in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain of North and South Carolina.
A Savannah River component was excavated at Warren Wilson on the Swannanoa River in Buncombe County (Keel 1976).
For example, the Dan River and Saratown phases of the central and northern Piedmont may represent the remains of "peoples ancestral to the Sara Indians," while the Hillsboro phase of the north-central Piedmont may be related to the Eno, Shakori, and Occaneechi tribes (Ward and Davis 1999:99).

The Catawba River rises in the mountains of North Carolina in pure mountain streams.
The Katawba Valley Land Trust is concerned largely with the longest remaining free-flowing section of the river in York, Chester and Lancaster Counties.
The tributaries of the river are equally as critical, as they bring all the pollutants and silt from developing areas into the river.

 SMIG -- Water Quality Simulations of the Wateree River (article: September 2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The influence of various hydrologic and point-source loading conditions on dissolved-oxygen concentrations in the Wateree River were determined by using results from water-quality simulations by the Branched Lagrangian Transport Model (BLTM).
A sensitivity analysis of the simulated dissolved-oxygen concentrations to model coefficients and data inputs indicated that the simulated dissolved-oxygen concentrations were most sensitive to changes in the boundary concentration inputs of water temperature and dissolved oxygen followed by sensitivity to the change in streamflow.
To demonstrate the utility of the Branched Lagrangian Transport Model of the Wateree River, the model was used to simulate several hydrologic and water-quality scenarios to evaluate the effects on simulated dissolved-oxygen concentrations.

 History of The Catawba River Corridor
The Catawba River originates in the mountains of North Carolina and flows through a series of lakes and free-flowing stretches for over 200 miles until it meets Big Wateree Creek to form the Wateree River at Wateree Lake.
Downstream from the Sugar Creek drainage, the Catawba River flows pass the Catawba Indian Reservation and is joined by Haggins Branch, Sixmile Creek, Ferry Branch, Abernathy Creek, Greene Creek, and the Twelvemile Creek watershed.
Farther downstream, the river accepts the drainage of Rock Hill Water Spring Branch, Dunn Creek, and the Cane Creek watershed near the Town of Fort Lawn.
