My thought is that they blew a dam downstream to lower tail-water at the 3G dam.
2 water levels to keep in mind, head water (the high side of the dam) and tail water (low side of the dam). If the tailwater gets too high, then the delta between the headwater and tailwater is smaller and reduces the flow of water through the dam. Not usually an issue for the spillway since it pours over top of a gated area higher up on the dam, but the water flow through the hydroelectric plant is reduced as the tailwater rises relative to the outlets where the water through the plant exits.
From an electrical standpoint, high tailwater reduces the output of the dam and if it’s too high, there isn’t enough delta between headwater and tailwater to operate the plant. If that happens, they shut down units and NO water flows through the plant, relying only on the spillways.
Given the amount of water they need to move, they need all the flow through the dam that they can get. If tailwater was so high that they couldn’t operate the generating plant, they would only have the spillways to rely on for flow. That might be the reason that they allegedly blew a dam downstream - to lower tailwater so that 3G could utilize the path through the plant as well as the spillway for water movement.
Look at my unroll post to the CH tweet on link in Q 4598.
LOL - sad, but true!
If Trump and team are fooled or helpless, then we are of course totally doomed.
Which I do not believe or accept as true, with tons of evidence!
By ignoring his tantrums.
Please post your credentials in human resource management and the result of your interviews with this and the other candidates for this job so we can all appreciate the special insight that allows you to make such a comment.
I think Trump’s second term is going to be a doozy. I know he wants to dismantle some fed agencies, merge some, reduce tremendously, clean out, hot high colonics, etc. Gonna be FUN!
covering the Orville Dam Spillway collapse.
Hopefully he'll do a segment on Three Gorges soon.

Makes sense. Sounds like with your level of understanding you’ll appreciate these photos and analysis, if you haven’t seen them:

Getting just a hint of Michael Jackson now. I can’t tell what is wrong but she looks worse than she ever did before. She’s always looked like a hard, cold and cruel woman.
Excellent.

God bless that man.
Yes. She was in deep. And now, they want her gone.
HFS! She looks like the Madeline puppet
