Le Tennessee [la rivière Tennessee] doit ses hautes eaux d'hiver et de printemps aux pluies et neiges de la partie appalachienne de son bassin. Il aggravait l'irrégularité du régime de l'Ohio [la rivière Ohio] avant son aménagement entrepris au temps du New Deal par la Tennessee Valley Authority. La vallée a été transformée en un escalier de lacs par une trentaine de barrages, à la fois centrales et écluses qui produisent plus de 20 TWh et permettent à la navigation de remonter jusqu'à Knoxville [...]. 3, record 4, French, - Tennessee%20Valley%20Authority

TVA 1971 and 1972. Two models for [delta]h were developed at the Air Quality Branch of the Tennessee Valley Authority by Montgomery et al (1971 & 1972). The formulas are based on a full-scale study of plume rise from a large electric generating plant. The first model follows that of Briggs and is based on the 2/3 law. The second however is not based on the 2/3 law but on a best fit to the experimental observations. 1, record 8, English, - TVA%20formula
