The outflow seems to be the ~100000 cfs from the main spillway draining at full capacity, which they opened to 100% early in the evening to relieve the emergency spillway, in spite of the existing damage to the main spillway.

Thank you.

By the way there's an amazing book that has a very gripping account of the Glen Canyon Dam incident and Grand Canyon in general.
