When calling automated service punch 4 for discharge rate, then punch 29 for the guntersville dam.
The water below guntersville dam is usually no more than 50 ft and on average 20-30 in the channels and as little as 10 -15 off of the channel
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.

Water power can be used to turn turbines in a dam, generating electricity.
Hydro-power is electricity created when water is forced by gravity from a dam and through turbines. The spinning turbines turn generators, and electricity is produced.
The TVA
Dams have turbines that turn with the water and create electricity.
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.
