The Ganges is not undamned and it’s tributaries are heavily damned. The ogeechee is not nor are its tributaries making it one of the largest free flowing river systems left on earth. Loads of bigger rivers and bigger river systems….The Ogeechee is SMALL…. what makes it unique in the world is that the drainage system is un-dammed from its source to the ocean. Between it and is largest tributary the Canoochee, also undammed, the area drained by the Ogeechee is right at 7000 square miles. None of it is dammed and at times about half of that area, 3500 square miles of surface water, is free flowing from the Piedmont to the ocean. Again, lots of bigger rivers in the world, very few that size still free flowing.
