oh yeah, forgot about that. the o'brien lock also has a dam with control gates too, so i suppose if you opened all of them up and just let just let things flow, you could move a decent amount of water through there and then down the cal-sag.
still though, if the new pattern in the region is LOTS more rain water coming into the system, enough to raise the lake level many feet above long-term historical highs, opening locks and dam gates may not move enough water out. i guess we'll just have to pray for warmer winters and more evaporation to balance things out.
