TVA and the management of the Tennessee River system

TVA is committed to the management of the Tennessee River system as an integrated whole. Under this approach, six different areas of responsibility, for flood control, river navigation, power supply, water quality, recreation, and land use become one.

Navigation on the Tennessee River
Putting the waterway to work for the people of the Valley made possible by TVA’s system of dams and locks. The river has a significant impact on the Valley economy.
