Could someone please tell me why this code is printing(Dam level too low) for almost every output.

Also note that
else Newvol<p30;
..
is equivalent to
else
Newvol<p30;
..
I.e. that logical comparison has absolutely no effect on the ELSE.

Newvol(k+1)=Newvol(k)+(Qin(k)-Qout);
Newvol is a vector.
if Newvol>=p100;
You are testing the entire vector in that statement; Newvol>p100 is going to return back a vector of values, one for each entry in the vector Newvol. And in MATLAB, when you use if, the condition is considered true only if all of the values being tested are non-0 (that is, are "true") -- if you have even one value that does not satisfy the test, the condition is false.
You do the same thing on your elseif conditions, so eventually you fall through to your else

Newvol(k) is effectively "start of day". Newvol(k+1) is effectively "end of day". Which one do you want to give the messages for?
