I'm not an engineer, but I don't see how increasing the water depth of the lake will help capture runoff and prevent flooding. It's the extra capacity that captures excess runnoff - the amount of water the basin can absorb during a rain event. This is determined by difference between the current water level and the maximum potential water level.
I'm not aware of the city ever dredging its flood control lakes - and we have a bunch of them.
