The lakes were all very full and SRP was very worried about their dams. While a dam can hold back a very large amount of water, if water flows over the top of the dam that can cause a failure. Water was reaching the top of Glenn Canyon Dan and the spillway was breaking apart. To help relieve some of the pressure on the breaking spillway, the needle valves were opened. This is a shot of the spillway exit and the needle valves.

 

If you want to see how close Arizona came to loosing a dam, go to youtube and use these search words, "Glenn Canyon Spillway Damage". That should put you on the right path.
