Can someone tell me why they levels are so low from fall till spring? I live in East Tennessee and have asked many people but no one can tell me why
Douglas, Norris and Cherokee lakes are the upper lakes in the TVA system. Lake levels are lowered in fall to help in reducing flooding in the TVA system. These lakes can be used as storage when we have large rain or runoff events. Lake levels start rising in April. TVA has a great web site coveting all their lakes.
