Two main types of dams comprise the TVA water control
system which steps water productively, rather than destructive-
ly, down to the Tennessee River's mouth as shown in the above
diagramatic map.

On tributary streams, great storage reser-
voirs impound water during the rainy flood sea-
son and release it into the main river during
periods of low flow. Long main river dams
have transformed the Tennessee into a series
of water steps.
Flow is thus regulated from
the headwaters to the mouth.
