Dam's aren't very useful in controlling peak flow. Frank, the guy in the video above, related it to trying to contain the flow from a fire hose with a tea cup. Obviously you have much more flexibility with a dam upstream than you do with the Glenmore Reservoir as you are always worried about holding back enough drinking water but I always thought their best bet was the overflow from the reservoir down 50th towards the bow. At that discharge point in the Bow there is plenty of capacity.
