Your equation assumes that ALL rain that fell was held back. But it isn't. EVERY year more rain falls than is held back. The excess is used to generate power. This is done because the Corps has the 'rule curve' that has to be followed. In other words, APCO is only allowed to fill at a certain rate. I doubt any such rules will be enforced this year, unless by some fluke of nature we are at 'normal' winter pool in the middle February when the fill up normally starts.
