Coongan River

The Coongan River is an ephemeral river in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The headwaters of the river rise below the Chichester Range. The river flows in a
northerly direction past Marble Bar then through the Gorge Range before discharging
into the De Grey River, of which it is a tributary, at Mulyie Pool near Mount
Woodhouse.

The town of Marble Bar also draws approximately 180ML scheme water from the river's
alluvium per year.

The river has eight tributaries, including Talga River, Triberton Creek, Emu Creek
and Budjan Creek.

The name is Indigenous Australian in origin, and was first recorded in 1878 by
Alexander Forrest. The traditional owners of the area are the Njamal or Nyamal
people.[4]

The rivers water quality varies dependent of the flow but the average turbidity of
the river water is 587 NTU and the average salinity is 100 mg/L.

Normandy Dam is a dam built by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) on the Duck
River in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It straddles the border between Bedford and
Coffee counties. Completed in 1976, the dam was built primarily for flood control
and economic development purposes, and does not produce any electricity. The town
of Normandy is located just southwest of the dam. The water level in Normandy
Reservoir varies about 11 feet in a normal year.

The dam is 110 feet (34 m) high and spans 2,807 feet (856 m) across the river
valley.
Nolichucky Dam is a dam on the Nolichucky River near Greeneville, Tennessee,
maintained by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).[1] The dam is located just over
46 miles (74 km) upstream from the mouth of the Nolichucky, and impounds Davy
Crockett Lake,[1][2] which extends 6 miles (9.7 km) upstream from the dam.[2][3]

The dam is a concrete gravity overflow type dam 94 feet (29 m) high and 482 feet
(147 m) long.[2][3] The dam has an ogee-type spillway with a flashboard crest. Its
reservoir, Davy Crockett Lake (named for the folk figure who was born a few miles
upstream from the modern dam site in 1786), has roughly 800 acres (320 ha) of water
surface.[3]

Nolichucky Dam was built by the Tennessee Eastern Electric Company (TEEC) in 1912-
1913 for hydroelectricity generation.[4] The dam was initially equipped with two
generators, and TEEC added two more in 1923.[3] In 1941, the East Tennessee Light &
Power Company obtained ownership of the dam when it purchased TEEC's assets.[5] The
Tennessee Valley Authority purchased East Tennessee Light & Power in 1945 for a
lump sum that included $1.47 million for Nolichucky Dam. TVA made various
improvements, and at its height, the dam was capable of producing 10,640 kilowatts
of electricity.[3] TVA used the dam for power generation until 1972, when sediment
buildup in Davy Crockett Lake made continued electricity generation impractical.[2]
The dam and reservoir are now used for flood control and recreation;[1] the
reservoir is a wildlife management area.[2] The continued sediment buildup is
resulting in upstream flooding.
