ASSESSMENT SUMMARY

Basins are a simple way of grouping watersheds together based upon the water’s destination. Most of the the water in Tennessee empties into the Cumberland, Mississippi or Tennessee Rivers. A small amount of the water also empties into the Barren River in Kentucky or the Conasauga River in Georgia.

Percentages of Tennessee's Waters in Each Basin
Barren 1%	Mississippi 21%
Conasauga 0.5%	Tennessee 55%
Cumberland 22.5%
