Dams

Norris Dam, the Tennessee Valley Authority's water control project on the Clinch River in northeast Tennessee. It was completed in 1936 and is 265 feet high and 1,860 feet long. It helps control seasonal floods, aids navigation on the Tennessee and lower Mississippi Rivers in months of low flow and provides for the incidental production of electric power.
