The Save has a length of 442 m., the See also:area of its See also:basin being 34,000 sq. m . It is navigable for steamers from See also:Sissek to its mouth, a distance of 36o m., but See also:navigation is greatly hindered by shifting sandbanks and other obstructions . Its principal affluents are, on the right, the See also:Sora, See also:Laibach, Gurk, Kulpa, Una, Vrbas, Bosna and Drina; and on the See also:left, the See also:Kanker, Feistritz, Sann, Sotla, Krapina, Lonjaand Orljava .
