Tennessee Flow History


Tennessee's flow conditions are influenced by its major rivers, including the Tennessee River, Cumberland River, and Mississippi River. These rivers are fed by numerous tributaries, including the Clinch River, Duck River, and Hiwassee River. The state's hydrology is characterized by significant rainfall, which can lead to high river levels and flooding. There are also several major reservoirs and dams in Tennessee, including the Norris Dam and the Kentucky Dam, which help to regulate water levels and generate hydropower. In addition, the state's climate is humid subtropical, with hot summers and mild winters. Watershed data and snowpack levels can also impact Tennessee's hydrology, with higher levels of snow melt leading to increased river flow.
