 Speaking of the Ohio River Valley:

1.2 Ohio River Basin Overview
The Ohio River Basin covers 204,000 square miles encompassing parts of 15 states. It is home to
over 25 million people equaling 10% of the population of the United States. The Ohio River
alone is 981 miles long and runs from the confluence of the Allegheny and the Monongahela
Rivers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and ends in Cairo, Illinois. Along the way the Ohio River
provides drinking water to several million people (Ohio River Foundation, 2020) (Figure 1).
Other systems in the Ohio River Basin include the Cumberland River which is 688 miles long,
draining about 18,000 square miles of Kentucky and Tennessee before joining the Ohio River.
The Tennessee River is 652 miles long from its confluence with the Holston River, flowing from
Virginia and North Carolina, and the French Broad River flowing from North Carolina. Other
major systems include the Kentucky, the Allegheny, the Wabash and the Miami Rivers, to name
a few. The Tennessee is the largest tributary of the Ohio River. The Ohio River and its tributaries
run through diverse landscapes including forests, agricultural, and urban lands and are home to
164 species of fish and over 100 species of mussels, including a number of threatened and
endangered species.
