A pipe connects them and has a pump that has a regenerative power capability. Whenever too much power is being made, the pump pumps a bunch of the water from the deep lake to the shallow lake and keeps it there. When power is needed, the pump goes in reverse and acts like a generator using gravitational potential stored energy. It's pretty clever, is quiet and clean, can have grates to stop fish and animals from getting caught in it, could function a bit like a nature reserve and have a well supported biosphere around them, can be located near urban areas, and deals with the problems of wind and solar energy as well as excess production in general.
