There is turbine flow and spillgate flow.

All turbines are close to 2 spillgates in flow.

If you see bad numbers let me know. I thought this calculation proved 11936 full generation flow.

Current Lake Conditions
Date: 7/8/2013
Hour Ending: 10:16:00 PM

Lake Elevation
489.47 Feet

Turbine Release
11936 cfs

If the Turbine Release is 11936 cubic feet/sec, then it is also 338 cubic meters/sec.

Drop it into power calculator with 53 meters of head (guess)

You get 158,163 KW or 158 MW
