I think these numbers are correct. I was given some free smoke so my brain is in a bit of a fog.

Keystone pipeline is 36". Maximum of 700,000 barrels a day or about 30,000,000 gallons a day.

Hoover dam releases 12,700 cubic feet per second. 762,000 c/f per minute or 5,700,000 gallons per minute. https://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/rivops.html

The Colorado takes less than 6 minutes to exceed Keystone daily output.

And then there is the altitude change.
