Unfortunately your question is impossible to answer. If you have 10k gallons water, you can calculate the theoretical potential energy stored in it based on how far it would fall. From there though real world issues like friction loss from the water falling in piping, efficiency of the turbine, flow rate of the water, etc all would change the answer.

Too hypothetical for this sub
