Three More Questions Answered By TVA EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is th? second In a series dealing with i the management of reservoir waters as It affects recreation. The questions were submitted by Lou Williams, president emeritus, Tennessee Conserva tion League. QUESTION NO. 2? How does] rVA manage lake levels for flood | control? ANSWER ? Records going back I many years show that all the maj- ' ar basinwide floods in the Tennes- ' see Valley have occurred in the period from December to May. ' TV A bases its water control policy j an that established history. Watdl mas with Mr. and Mrs. W. D. j Townson, parents of Mrs. Wells. I M.'. ant" Mrs. Bob Recto? left .

Wednesday is regulated to provide the largest margin of flood control storage a round the first of each year when the heavy rains are about o begin. Reservoirs then are at their low est. Gradually they fill as the rains come and heavy runoff occurs. Levels are highest in summer and ea.ly fall when the flood danger is least. This gradual rise may be a fluc tuating rise. The main-river reser voirs (except Kentucky), have a much smaller flood storage space than the tributary reservoirs. , From the lowest water level to the | highest may be as little as three feet and range up 'o ten feet. | Following a heavy rainstorm the I water may rise to the top of the florid gates, but the level will be dropped down again soon to safe guard against another storm. This , process may take place several times during the flood season. Be jhind tributary dams there is a much greater depth of flood stor I age space, ranging .to 100 feet and f 'sometimes more, but even here a ( heavy downpour can raise lake levels to such an extent that they, J j too, must be drawn down again ( to provide adequate flood storage. ' From around the first of June until late summer or early au tumn, reservoir waters are held at their top levels? provided, of course, that rainfall and runoff ( are sufficient. Then a gradual ( , draw-down begins so the storage j , spare will be ready fur the new j , flood season January 1. In short, TVA flood contro. runs an annual cycle ? low reservoirs, during the major flood season, ex cept when regulating floods; then ; filling the reservoirs as much as ' practicable by about May or June j first; holding the lake levels as high as practicable in the sum- j mer; then drawing them down a gain in the fall. j QUESTION NO. 3-Isn't there! some way TVA can manage water j levels in its lakes so that a level j conductive to fishing could be j maintained on weed-ends? I ANSWER Many fishermen as- j sunie that rising or stable water levels are " conductive to fishing" Such conditions d- preva'i. more! often than not, during the winter j ] S CUT TOOD COSTS! ? m/iHE ^ yDe&ciawZ* Butteftmik &t.

I ind spring when high rainfall is ' ausing reservoirs to rise. Ex- < ?ej)t during high flows, however, ] t is not possible to operate the J eservoirs so as to have the water ' evels of all of the lakes rising or . :ven stable at a given time. This J ? apparent from the simple fact | hat if TV A were to reduce the ? lischarge at one dam solely for 3 he purpose of stabilizing or caus- J ng the la/.e upstream to rise, that iperation itsel" would cause the ake next downstream, below the lam, to fall. But stability of lake < evels for fishing cannot be a mat er of first consideration to TVA. 'ower demands, which use water ind reduce lake levels, and malar a control, which requires fluctuat ng levels, each has higher impor ance. It follows that it is seldom >ossible to have all reservoirs table or rising during week-ends. JUESTTON NO. 4? How does re reation fit into the pattern of PVA's water management practic !S' ANSWER? L/u ring most of the rear, the levels that are best for PVA's primary programs are al io good for recreation. Rising wa ers in the early spring normally , >ring lake levels to a point satis actory for fishing. At the height of j he recreation season in the sum- j Tier arid early fall, the water is | cept as high as the season's rain all and primary operating pur poses will permit. The lowest lev- ? ?ls come during the winter when',, recreation needs are at a mini- ( ?num. This cycle, it should be pointed', 3Ut again, is dependent on ade- 1 3uate rainfall. Abnormally low ' rainfall during three successive summers. 1952-1964, has prevent- i ed TVA from filling its reservoirs j to higher levels and keeping them I there during the summer. But | TVA is as unhappy about this as 1 the fishermen. 'JACK SLADE' Ht-1111 Theatre Fri.-Sat. New i MODEL 17 Homelite On Man Chain Saw dry roads ?
