TVA opens the flood gates on Guntersville fairly often in the winter and spring after large rains, but i don't know if there's another way they can let water out besides opening the gates. I know generating electricity releases water but I'm talking strictly about excess water like they are doing in the picture.
I know that Guntersville, the other lakes in AL and a couple of the lakes in TN are much different than some of the lakes upstream in the mountinous areas
