Not only to change the operational levels by changing the dam crest elevation or the spillway intake level, there might be a need to adapt the spillway geometry overall or to add emergency spillways. There also may be solutions by changing the land use at the upstream catchmemt area, to increase the infiltration and reduce the direct flow. Anyway, sounds like ground for work to hydrological engineers worldwide.
