The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Nashville is monitoring rainfall in the Cumberland River Basin area this weekend.
Lt. Col. Robert Green, the Nashville District commander, said the flood risk management projects are currently functioning as intended but advised anyone out on the water to use caution and be prepared for sudden water condition changes.
Despite the forecasted rain, the Nashville District does not anticipate significant rises along the mainstem of its managed river systems, given the current dry conditions in the region.
The Corps of Engineers manages 10 dams and four locks in the Cumberland River Basin that serve as a unified system, intended to stabilize the river, ensure navigation, and reduce flood risk. This includes Wolf Creek Dam.
