That depends how powerful the turbines are and how many the dam has.
The Hoover Dam is only one dam. If you are talking about all the dams on the Colorado River there are six dams Glen Canyon dam, Hoover dam, Davis dam, Parker dam, Paulo Verde Diversion dam, and Imperial dam.

Electrical energy - the turbines drive generators
The hoover dam works by spouting water out of penstocks and into a man-made river, which then enters the dam and the moving water turns the turbines of the generator, which produces the energy we need to power things.
Take for example, a dam. Water flows through the gates (when opened) of the dam and turn turbines. Inside these turbines are coils of copper usually that generate electricity.

submerged turbines, not as efficient as a dam though
A hydroelectric dam uses the force of flowing water to drive turbines which generate electric power.
When water falls in the dam there are turbines present, when water falls with full force it turns the turbines.
water (hydroelectricity) like a dam.
