Yes the dam has a steady discharge if it's generating hydro power. Intermittent if they're just maintaining level. The Glory Hole is just for, oh shit gotta get rid of the excess water before we lose the dam. If the water goes over the top and creates a continuous flow to the base, so it looks like Niagara Falls, there's a good chance it can pull the dam over.
