Water from Lake Powell is dropped through Glen Cany bn Powcrplant to turn out kilowatts to energise Industry and to light Western cities. Revenue from the sale of the power repays the cost of Clcn Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. The am omit of power that can be produced depends on the "head," the difference Between the elevation of the surface of the lake and that of the river below the dam.

Power production would be ait due to the loss in "head." Gln Canyon Dam would have to be opt rated without a spillway because the spillway is lc tied at elevation 3,648 feet and could never be used.
