Summary
Kentucky has a humid subtropical climate characterized by hot summers and mild winters with a high frequency of precipitation. The major rivers in Kentucky include the Ohio, Kentucky, Cumberland, and Tennessee rivers, which are all major tributaries to the Mississippi River. The Ohio River is the largest flow in the state and is heavily used for commercial transportation. Kentucky also has several large reservoirs and dams, including the Kentucky Dam, Barkley Dam, and Wolf Creek Dam. These dams regulate flow and provide hydroelectric power to the region. The state's hydrology is affected by the Appalachian Mountains, which contribute to increased runoff in the eastern part of the state. Snowpack is not a significant factor in Kentucky's hydrology.
