Anderson County is a county located in the U. S. state of Tennessee. As of the 2010 census, its population was 75,129, its county seat is Clinton. Anderson County is included in TN Metropolitan Statistical Area. Before the formation of Anderson County, that territory was land of what is today called the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, settled by several pioneer families including the Wallace, Freels and Tunnell families. Although the Treaty of Holston, signed in 1791, was intended as a negotiation with the Cherokee to prohibit settlement of the area including what is today Anderson County, the treaty became ineffective as more settlers moved through the Appalachian Mountains from Virginia and North Carolina into Tennessee; the flooding of white settlers into the Indian domain was cause for several skirmishes, which eased after the Treaty of Tellico in 1798 allowed for greater ease in settling the area. Anderson County was partitioned from a portion of Grainger County, Tennessee as well as a portion of Knox County, Tennessee, in 1801.

Anderson County was named in honor of Joseph Anderson, at that time U. S. senator from Tennessee, whose career included judge of the Superior Court of the Territory South of the River Ohio and Comptroller of the U. S. Treasury. Like many East Tennessee counties, the residents of Anderson County were opposed to secession on the eve of the Civil War. On June 8, 1861, Anderson Countians voted against Tennessee's Ordinance of Secession, 1,278 to 97; the construction of Norris Dam, the first dam built by the Tennessee Valley Authority, brought major changes to the county in the 1930s. 2900 families were relocated from reservoir lands in Anderson and nearby counties during the construction, which began in 1933 and was completed in 1936. The town of Norris was built as a planned community to house the workers involved in the construction of this dam; as a result of the dam completion and operation, the temperature of the downstream Clinch River bed changed, so that a former pearl industry, successful for many years evaporated as the mussels, once prevalent in the river, were not able to sustain life in the changed climate.

During World War II, the federal government's Manhattan Project brought more change to the county, including the displacement of more families and the founding of Oak Ridge. The Museum of Appalachia in Norris commemorates pioneer and rural life of past decades in Anderson County and the surrounding region. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 345 square miles, of which 337 square miles is land and 7.6 square miles is water.

Jalayagnam or Jala Yagnam, is a water management program in India. It has been implemented by Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, India, Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy as an election promise to the farmers of the state to bring 8.2 million acres under irrigation in five years. Y. S. R has taken required approvals from central government and NGTL. Other required permissions for all the projects before he died. Like Site clearance, environmental clearance, R & R clearance, wildlife sanctuary clearance, forest clearance and technical advisory committee clearance. By the time he supposed to execute projects on phase manner, Y. S. R died in accident. Subsequently there was other issues like state bifurcation came to high intensity, subsequent Chief Ministers failed to give priority for Jalayagnam; this project accords the highest priority for the development of irrigation infrastructure in backward and drought prone areas by taking up this program in a big way. Jala Yagnam includes a number of irrigation projects by construction of reservoirs and lift irrigation systems for lifting water from major rivers from Godavari, to provide immediate irrigation benefits.

The Jala Yagnam program was to complete 32 major and 17 medium irrigation projects at a cost of Rs. 650 billion to provide irrigation to an extent of 7.1 million acres besides stabilization of an existing ayacut of 2,132,000 acres while providing drinking water to a population of 12 million and generating power to the tune of 1700 MW. Eight of these projects were to be completed before the kharif season of 2006; the project requires the construction of 78 dams and is expected to displace significant numbers of people whose villages will be submerged. The irrigation development was stagnant for the last decade and the previous governments concentrated on hi-tech and neglected the agricultural sector, on which 70% of the population depends; the fact that 26% of the population in rural areas, was living below the poverty line made Dr. Reddy wonder whether science and technology had made a significant difference in the quality of life in rural areas, compared to towns and cities; the suicides of many farmers from the state made Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy give more significance to the irrigation sector.

Having recognized the importance of the agricultural sector for faster economic development, Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy started concentrating on its development and introduced several schemes for the benefit of the farmers, one of, the Jala Yagnam project. In the past 50 years, a total ayacut of 6.5 million acres was developed in the state. Jala Yagnam is expected to double the area under irrigation, it would constitute a major component of the Central government programme National Irrigation Mission's target of bringing ten million hectares of land in the country under the plough. The largest allocation of funds, during 2004-09, is for irrigation, as the government considers irrigation an important growth engine; the most expensive of the projects are the lift irrigation projects intended to irrigate the dry Telangana region and supply water to the Anantapur - Ongole - Mahabubnagar area, "turning into a desert". With the land level being 300 metres above the water level, lift irrigation is supposed to be the only way to take water to the dry region.

3,000 tmc water from Godavari is washed into the sea, as the land is at a higher elevation. For the first time in the post-independence era, the Congress government took up linking of Godavari and Krishna by constructing the Indira Sagar Project and Rajiv Sagar project across the River Godavari. By executing projects like Rajiv Sagar, Indira Sagar flood flow canal, SRSP Phase-II and so on, 2.1 million acres of parched land in Telangana region would be made fertile. This is the link which redirects to the map in which all the Jalayagnam projects are seen and projects which have been finished by Andhra Pradesh government. Details such as estimated and actual costs of Jalayagnam projects are included. For completed projects, details like district they are in and rivers they are on are included.

After Joseph McNabb died in 1949, Percy was made the president of Howell, he was instrumental in leading the company during a period of financial growth.

During his leadership, Percy expanded Bell & Howell, raising revenues 32-fold and the number of employees 12-fold, listing the company on the New York Stock Exchange. While continuing to manufacture movie cameras and movie and sound projectors for military and home use, in the late 1940s the company diversified into the production of microfilm, it entered the expanding markets of information services as well. In the late 1950s, Percy decided to enter politics. With the encouragement of U. S. President Dwight D.

In 1967, Senator Percy introduced a bill to establish a program to stimulate production of low-cost housing. Percy's proposal was the first of its kind to provide home ownership to low-income families, it received strong support from Republicans in both the House and the Senate, although it did not pass; when asked why he selected housing for his first major legislative proposal, Percy said: "Of all the problems I ran across during three years of campaigning, first for the governorship and for the Senate, the most appalling in their consequences for the future seemed to be the problems of the declining areas of the city and countryside, the inadequacy of housing." Percy voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 and the confirmation of Thurgood Marshall to the U. S. Supreme Court; when in the Senate less than two years, Percy was mentioned as a Republican hopeful for the 1968 Presidential nomination. The New York Times columnist James B. Reston referred to him as "the hottest political article in the Republican Party".

Third Coast is an American colloquialism used to describe coastal regions distinct from the East Coast and the West Coast of the United States. The term "Third Coast" refers to either the Great Lakes region or the Gulf Coast of the United States. Considering its Great Lakes coasts, Michigan has more miles of shoreline than does any other of the lower 48 states and more fresh water shoreline than any other state; when considering the sheer size of the Gulf of Mexico bordering the southern United States, the combined Great Lakes' square mileage of 94,250 is dwarfed by the Gulf's size of 600,000 square miles. Many regional businesses incorporate the term "Third Coast" in their names and products, such as Michigan's Third Coast Kite and Hobby, which has an image of the coastal dunes in its logo, Texas-based Third Coast Coffee. Rap and hip hop music acts from Houston, other Gulf Coast cities in the southern United States, are referred to as emerging from the Third Coast; the term "Fresh Coast" was popularized by Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett and is most used to spur commerce, in contrast to the colloquialism "Rust Belt", first mentioned at a visit in Maple Dale Middle School.

Regional media outlets have adopted the phrase in an effort to re-brand Great Lakes development. The term connotes both the area's large resource of its educational resources.
