I have a feeling that if there WERE the possibility of that extra 100
ft, it would have been done at the initial construction stage. I don't
think they can add height to ANY installation.

Even if the dam itself were suitable, the increased shoreline of the
reservoir would probably prevent it.

Adding MORE dams doesn't work either, as there has to be a minimum
'head' of water between reservoirs and it's pretty well all dammed up as
it is.
