It belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin, and represents the longest Danube's right tributary and the second longest of all, as well as the richest with water, by far. It drains a significant portion of the Dinaric Alps region, through significant tributaries of Kupa, Una, Vrbas, Bosna and Drina. Sava also the 16th longest river in Europe and the second longest one (after Tisza) that does not join directly a sea.
The shorter, 31 km long Sava Bohinjka originates under the Komarča wall at an elevation of , from underground sources drained from the Triglav Lakes Valley. Until Lake Bohinj, the river is known as the Savica ("little Sava"), and features Savica Falls () a 60 m high waterfall at its source. Then the Savica River flows through the Ukanc Gorge, where the 3 MW Savica power plant is located. Then it flows into Lake Bohinj, creating a small delta. Afterward, as the Sava Bohinjka, it flows through Bohinjska Bistrica, Bohinjska Bela, and close to Lake Bled, before it joins the Sava Dolinka near Radovljica.
From Radovljica to Dolsko east of Ljubljana, the Sava flows across the Ljubljana Basin. Then it enters the Central Sava Valley () and the Lower Sava Valley ().
The river has high electricity production potential in its upper course, up to 3.2 (including tributaries 4.7) billion kWh, which has not been used until lately. In addition to the Moste and Savica power plants, there is a third on the Sava, the Medvode power plant (17.8 MW), near Ljubljana. There are also several hydroelectric plants under construction, of which the Vrhovo and Boštanj power plants have already begun electricity production.
The river bed is not regulated for the most of its length. This causes floods from time to time, which can affect as much as 5,000 km2 of mostly very fertile land (the Sava Valley). In October 1964 the Sava flooded Zagreb almost to the center, causing heavy damage and human casualties, after which high levees were built. In 1981 and April 2006, the Sava flooded lower parts of Belgrade. In 1977 & 1980 both federal and inter-republican agreements were signed about regulating the Sava, which were supposed to regulate its waters to prevent flooding, build new power stations, establish full navigation to Zagreb, and ecologically protect its waters, with the final deadline being the year 2000. However, not much was done and Yugoslavia itself broke up in 1991.
East of Ljubljana, the Sava flows through a 90 km long gorge and afterward the Brežice-Krško Plain. As the Pannonian Sea receded, the Sava grew longer and longer, carving the Sava Trench () through which it flows to the east. Together with lower courses of Bosnian rivers which became its tributaries, it created huge floodplains. Becoming wide (at Šabac its 680 m wide, while on its mouth only 280 m), the Sava begins to meander and in history changed course many times, being pushed by the gentle slope of the Pannonian bed to the south and by the force of its many right tributaries to the north. Old riverbeds turned into swamps and ponds known as "dead water" () and "old water" (). The best known is one of the biggest ponds in Serbia and one of the biggest wild birds reservation areas in Europe, ''Obedska bara''.
The hydrological parameters of Sava are regularly monitored in Croatia at Jesenice, Zagreb, Crnac, Jasenovac, Davor, Slavonski Brod, Slavonski Šamac, and Županja.
Left tributaries:
The Sava Valley is also a natural route for land traffic, which includes the railway and Belgrade-Zagreb freeway and routes of oil and gas pipelines from Croatia to Serbia. As a result of all this traffic and densely populated and industrialized areas it flows through, the river is very polluted east of Sisak and not much has been done to improve its conditions.
Even though name ''Sava'' became very common among (and not only South) Slavs, especially as a form of personal name, either male or female, and has a "Slavic tone," the river's name is not Slavic but Celtic and Roman in origin; the Latin name was ''Savus''. The old Celts associated their river goddess Adsullata with the Savus.
Sava was the longest river flowing completely within Yugoslavia, until the breakup of the country in 1991.

Deepside Deejays is a romanian band set up in 2008 by Vibearena, Victor de la Pena and Dave Pryce.

It reached the number 1 position in Poland, Morocco, India, Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Malta, reached top ten in Sweden, Norway and in the Scandinavian countries and reached top 20 in France and German dance charts.
In 2009 they become a “must” of the international music contests winning the remix competition organised by the electronic music label Toolroom Records, remixing one of the most famous producers and DJs, Dirty South. In January 2009 Deepside Deejays were declared the winners of the Gfab Records contest, remixing “Get Shaky” of the famous producer Ian Carey and only a few days after that, a press release from the well known label Cr2 announced that the Deepside Deejays were “The Overall Winners” in the John Dahlback – Everywhere Remix Competition. Soon after, the boys started working for various Gfab Records projects, such as: Thomas Gold, Soul Avengerz and The Good Guys. In May 2009 Deepside Deejays were declared the “Grand Final Winners” in a competition organized by FOEM in collaboration with Martin Solveig. The winning remix was announced by Martin Solveig himself, during the INOX Festival in France, on 17 May.

Also in 2010 one of the most famous DJs worldwide, Tiesto, gets familiar with their remix for “Don`t Say it`s Over” (of the Romanian artist Alex), and decides to include this remix both in his radio show “Club Life” and in his live acts, contributing to their career`s rising and success.
In 2011, Deepside Deejays released the song "Never Be Alone" which quickly became an airplay success in Romania and Russia.
