Water Management Situation Report for Cumberland River Basin Reservoir System and Associated Waterways
Cheatham
Spilling operations continued at Cheatham Dam to maintain the navigation channel and provide sufficient water to keep TVA’s vital Cumberland City fossil plant operating. Flows were adjusted according the availability of water in the Cumberland, with a general downward trend from the 4200 cubic feet per second (cfs) flow to as low as 2600 cfs. A general improvement in the weather patterns (rain) by mid-November allowed the resumption of some hydropower releases. Overall, though a stressful year, water quality conditions in the Cheatham pool remained acceptable.

Know what the major Cumberland River pollutant is? Well, it is the DIRT and
the other "stuff" from our yards, our roofs and our driveways that runs off
every time we have a good rain.
If we all kept our dirt in our own yards, the river would be a lot healthier
and safer for everyone.
Visit the Sediment page to learn more about Muddy Waters and what YOU can do
to keep your dirt at home.
