Abstract | TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) summarizes its experience in the regulation of floods through its basinwide, multiple-purpose system of dams and reservoirs, and its experience in the regulation of developments in the flood hazard areas. Because the report deals with flood damage prevention only, it cannot sketch in full perspective the social and economic values which result from river regulation as it exists in the Tennessee Valley. |
