Table 1. Streamflow characteristics of sites in the lower Tennessee River Basin where instream loads were estimated
[mi2, square miles; ft3/s, cubic feet per second; in., inches; R (riverine), tributary site at which streamflow is not regulated or a major component of the streamflow is not regulated; FR (flow-regulated), site located in an impoundment or at which streamflow is strongly influenced by an upstream impoundment; USGS, U.S. Geological Survey; TVA, Tennessee Valley Authority; CY, current year; period of load and trend computation varies slightly among constituents]
