Tennessee Valley lake levels low as drought continues.

"the region has only received about 69% of the rainfall it normally gets. Even worse, the runoff water, which is what fills up the reservoirs, is at just 45% of normal"

We're joining the Nashville area with low rainfall.

TVA has a website where you can select a lake to see lake levels with a chart that shows the previous year's lake levels. Fort Loudon is down almost 2 feet. That's a lot of water for a 14,000 acre lake. This not only affects usable water it also affects power generation.
