The Tennessee River flooded almost every year. The floods brought additional hardship to the people who lived in southern Appalachia, one of the nation's poorest areas. The TVA constructed a system of dams along the river both to control floods and to generate electricity. The electricity provided cheap power to homes and encouraged industry to move into the area for the cheap electricity. The industry would provide employment in this area. One of the factories in the area was a maker of fertilizer. This not only provided employment but the finished product helped the farmers in the area produce more crops for less.
It provided cheap electric power, flood control and recreational opportunites.
New lakes were created, new locks built and 1000km of the river opened up for navigation; negative affects were that government sponserd stripmining and coal burning caused air,land, and water pollution
