The sources of water that are present in Georgia or that touch a boundary of Georgia are the Chattahoochee River and Lake Lanier.

Explanation:

-The Chattahoochee River rises on the borders of Georgia, Alabama and Florida and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The Chattahoochee stretches for about 690 km. It forms, along with the Flint and Apalachicola rivers, the ACF River Basin.

-Lake Lanier is an artificial lake in the north of the state of Georgia, created in 1956 at the end of the Budford Dam on the Chattahoochee River. It has an area of 150 km² and a coastline of 1114 km. It is named in honor of the poet Sidney Lanier who was born in 1842 in the nearby city of Macon.
