3 More than five million barrels of cement were used to build. Table of Contents A Mighty Dam... 4 Dry Desert... 5 Strong Dam, Huge Lake... 6 Solving a Problem... 9 Building the Dam Seeing the Dam Today Glossary A Mighty Dam When was built in the 1930s, it was the tallest dam in the world. The dam is as tall as a sixtystory building! is on the Colorado River. The dam controls the flow of the river s water. The dam s power plant uses the water to make electricity. 3 4
4 Dry Desert Lake Mead is on the border between Arizona and Nevada. It is about 30 miles (48 km) from the city of Las Vegas. is in a very dry desert. The dam is in a deep, narrow valley between mountains. Nevada Las Vegas Lake Mead Utah Colorado Colorado River PACIFIC OCEAN California Colorado River GULF OF CALIFORNIA Arizona New Mexico Strong Dam, Huge Lake The Colorado River flows downhill to. The dam stops the water from flowing quickly. Water collects above the dam to form Lake Mead. It is the biggest lake in the United States made by people. 5 6
5 Water has a lot of force when it flows downhill. is very heavy so it can stay strong when the water hits it. The dam is curved to move the water to the two sides of the canyon. A power plant near the dam changes the force of the moving water into electricity. Top is 45 feet (13.7 m) thick Four intake towers, each 395 feet (120.4 m) tall, control the power plant s water supply. Height: feet (221.4 m) from foundation rock to crest Width: 1,244 feet (379 m) across Black Canyon at the top downstream gravity Weight: more than 6,600,000 tons (5,987,419 mt) arch Base is 660 feet (201 m) thick s shape and size help hold the water back. upstream 7 8
6 Workers used dynamite to dig the tunnels. The work was hot and unsafe. Building the Dam helped farmers have a steady supply of water for their crops. Solving a Problem People have been growing crops along the Colorado River for many years. The river used to flood in spring and wash away the crops. People built dams on the river to stop the flooding. was the first of those dams. The project began in Workers had to make the river go around where would be built. They dug four tunnels, and they also built huge walls above and below where the dam would be. After they finished, the water flowed into the tunnels and out lower down. Then workers moved rocks and mud away to make room for the dam. 9 10
7 Workers used giant molds to build the dam. They dumped huge buckets of concrete into each mold. Cold water ran through small pipes so each block of concrete would cool quickly. After each block was cool, workers built another block on top of it. Later, they sealed the stacks of blocks with grout. Colorado River spillway tunnel spillway power plant spillway tunnel spillway towers towers was built in small sections. It was like building with a giant Lego set. If the river ever flooded, the water would ruin the power plant. Workers built two places for the water to go if it got very high. Those places are called spillways. 11 Finally, workers built the power plant and four towers. The towers control how much water goes to the power plant at a time. 12
8 All the work was finished in The project took about five years. Building was hard, unsafe work. Many workers lost their lives during the project. Seeing the Dam Millions of people see every year. The visitor center has displays about the area and how the dam was built. People can go inside the dam and power plant. At Lake Mead, they can go fishing and boating. Take a camera if you go. There s a lot to see! President Roosevelt gave a speech at the dam after it was finished. He said it was the greatest dam in the world. From inside the visitor center, visitors get a great view of. They can also take a tour to see how the power plant works
9 Glossary Lights come on in the evening, making Hoover Dam even more beautiful. Today changed many people s lives. The river s water helps crops grow in dry areas of the United States. The power plant makes electricity for over a million people. Other dams have been built on the Colorado River since the 1930s. But was the first, and it s still the biggest! canyon (n.) concrete (n.) electricity (n.) grout (n.) molds (n.) power plant (n.) a deep valley with steep sides that is usually formed by a river (p. 7) a building material that hardens when dry, made by mixing cement, sand, and broken rocks with water (p. 11) an electric current that is used as a source of power (p. 4) a paste or mortar used to fill in the spaces between building materials, such as tiles (p. 11) hollow containers that give shape to things pressed or poured into them (p. 11) a building or complex that produces electricity for an area or region (p. 4) 15 16
