MM- I can tell you that the water of a high tide here in Cook Inlet will back up the Kenai River 12 MILES.
The amount of H2O coming over/through that damn dam absolutely WILL back up the river water above it's outlet.
I understand that....high tide can raise or lower the Sacramento River a couple of feet in the summertime, and Sacramento's about 75 miles from the bay, but there's no way in hell the water coming out of the discharge at the bottom of a 900 ft. dam is gonna get pushed back up the tubes by the river below it...even if the river was a foot below the lake level... it's simple physics...it's impossible.
