	Ohio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ohio, the region north of the Ohio River and south of the Great Lakes, was originally controlled by various native tribes.
		Ohio's southern border is defined by the Ohio River (with the border being at the 1793 low-water mark on the north side of the river), and much of the northern border is defined by Lake Erie.
		Ohio was also a deciding factor in the 1948 presidential election when Democrat Harry S. Truman defeated Republican Thomas Dewey (who had won the state four years earlier) and in the 1976 presidential election when Democrat Jimmy Carter defeated Republican Gerald Ford by a slim margin in Ohio and took the election.

		The Ohio River, however, was very shallow in the summer and often choked by ice in the winter.
		The dams also raised the level of the river considerably on their upstream side and turned the free flowing river into a chain of connected lakes, especially in the summer when stream flows are so small.
		By the 1950s, commercial use of the river was all but nonexistent and the maintenance of the locks and dams was deeded back to the state of Ohio in 1958.

	TVA: Averting Flood Damage on Ohio-Mississippi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Kentucky Dam, located 22 miles upstream from where the Tennessee River joins the Ohio River at Paducah, Kentucky, is particularly important to protecting land in the lower Ohio and Mississippi River valleys.
		When flood flows occur in the upper Mississippi River basin, water is released from Kentucky Reservoir before the Ohio River crests at Paducah and the Mississippi River crests at Cairo, Illinois (just one or two days’ water travel time from Kentucky Dam).
		The objective is to discharge the Tennessee River flood crest in advance of the Ohio and Mississippi flood crests so that there is sufficient storage volume in Kentucky to hold back water during the Cairo flood peak.
