T.V.A. Tennessee Valley Authority By Quinn, Morgaine, Liz, and Jonas.

Purpose The Tennessee Valley Authority was meant to rehabilitate the depressed Tennessee valley river region. Poverty Unemployment Poor soil quality Little electricity Annual floods

What did they do? Built damns on the Tennessee river and its tributaries Flood control Manufactured fertilizer Reforestation Soil erosion prevention Industrial development Public works projects Provide electric power to the region

How was it suppose to alleviate the Depression? Create stable farming Improve the quality of life Create jobs

Evaluation of Effectiveness Electric lights and modern appliances made life easier and farms more productive. Electricity also drew industries into the region, providing desperately needed jobs. During World War II, the United States needed aluminum to build bombs and airplanes, and aluminum plants required electricity.

Evaluation of Effectiveness To provide power for such critical war industries, TVA engaged in one of the largest hydropower construction programs ever undertaken in the US. Early in 1942, when the effort reached its peak, design and construction employment reached a total of 28,000. By the end of the war, TVA had completed a 650-mile navigation channel the length of the Tennessee River and had become the nation’s largest electricity supplier.

Criticisms Arthur Morgan, the head of the TVA wanted TVA to work with other companies and expand to be a technology resource. But his opinions were in direct conflict with David Lilienthal who was one of the three directors of TVA.

How did the program depart from the way the government did business before?

Roosevelt looking for innovative ideas to address the Great Depression TVA to be a different type of agency “clothed with the power of government but possessed with the flexibility and initiative of private enterprise”

Development of TVA upset many people in the US TVA used a unique approach to problem solving- “integrated resource management” Took a broad view of every problem they studied vs. looking at a single problem
