*** About Hoover Dam: Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is an engineering masterpiece nestled between the borders of Nevada and Arizona, USA. Constructed during the Great Depression between 1931 and 1936, it was built to control floods, provide irrigation water, and generate hydroelectric power. Today, Hoover Dam is a National Historic Landmark, drawing millions of tourists yearly. Its 726-foot-high concrete arch-gravity structure holds back Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume. The power generated serves public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. It remains a testament to the nation's ability to overcome adversity through determination and innovation.
