If you love seeing Norris Dam spill, the Tennessee Valley Authority shared a spectacular point of view you can only see from the sky! Today, the dam is releasing about 24,000 cubic feet of water per second... that's about 180,000 gallons every second! More: https://on.wbir.com/2IAe4Qb | WBIR Channel 10

A rare look deep inside Norris Dam as crews operate large hydraulic equipment to open all eight sluice gates. Sluice gates are low-level outlets, and one of three ways we can release water at dams - generators, spillways, and sluices. In addition to spilling or sluicing, all available generating units at all of our dams are producing low-cost electricity. We continue to aggressively release water to recover flood storage capacity as we prepare for more heavy rainfall this weekend and into next w

Take a tour inside Norris Dam

Deep inside Norris Dam, technicians operate large hydraulic sluice gates to close the low-level outlets and reduce the amount of water being released by the dam. As the rain moves in, the large tributary dams like Norris will be storing water to help reduce downstream impacts. #NorrisDam | Tennessee Valley Authority

This view is one of my favorites in East Tennessee. Norris Dam isn’t just something to marvel at, the structure has helped the Tennessee Valley Authority power the area and surrounding states for nine decades. It’s hard to imagine now, but before 1933 only 2% of the rural community had access to power. #norris #norrisdam #norrislake #tva #power #tennessee #history #90thanniversary #andersoncounty | Beth Haynes

Norris Dam is a symbol of American grit and engineering. 🇺🇸 The massive concrete structure is 265 feet high and stretches 1,860 feet across the Clinch River, creating a lake with 809 miles of shoreline. When completed in 1936, it helped power the Valley from the mountains of East Tennessee to the river shoals of Alabama. Along with the other dams in our hydro fleet, Norris continues to provide reliable, low-cost renewable hydropower for the region. Click on the link to get an up-close look ins

Norris Dam is spilling water over the spillway gates to recover flood storage and bring the lake level down. After a record month of rainfall, the reservoir level increased by 26 feet in 3 weeks. During this flood event, Norris will store 305 billion gallons of water to protect downstream communities throughout the Valley. Total releases will be 15,000 cubic feet per second today and increasing tomorrow to 24,000 cfs. Prepare for above normal river conditions on the Clinch River below the dam. #
