How does Glen Canyon Dam work? Water levels at Lake Powell determine how much water can pass through Glen Canyon Dam into the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. A minumum amount of water is required for water releases and power generation. The depth of Lake Powell is measured as the elevation above sea level.
