A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF BUILDING THE ULTIMATE DAM In exploring the world of dam building and water control in the American West prior to the New Deal, this book focuses on the work of John S. Eastwood, an early twentieth century engineer who aggressively promoted the dramatically less expensive -- and controversial -- multiple arch dam. Placing Eastwood's work within a vibrant milieu, replete with power struggles among engineers, corporate patrons and government bureaucrats, Donald C. J ...

Hoover Dam One of the most monumental undertakings in California during the 1930s was the construction of Hoover Dam on the Colorado River. The dam was needed both for the generation of hydroelectric power and for the diversion of water to the cities and farms of southern California. One of the engineers on the project later described the challenges the builders faced: "Sheer canyon walls so high that they distorted perspective; the lack of even a sand bar for initial footage; the desert on ea ...

This lesson was created by Jerry, a student in the UniTY Program at the Miami Museum of Science. DAMS When the first dam was founded by Theodore Roosevelt, America's first great conservationist President, the way dams change river systems and their wildlife was not well understood. Today, after decades of study, we know a great deal more about these impacts. With that knowledge comes a greater responsibility and trust. The river systems in which dams operate are home to thousands of species ...

The Building of the First Aswan Dam and the Inundation of Lower Nubia: Images from the Collections of the Kelsey Museum The Nile River is the main artery for Egypt and Nubia: the present course of the river, traceable to at least 25,000 years ago, is a determining factor of the topography of the region. In a relatively rainless region, it is only because of the river's annual flood that these areas became habitable and airable. The yearly flood of the Nile is caused by late summer ...

Why was Hoover Dam Built? Viewing this magnificent, massive man made structure creates a respect for man's accomplishments. The strong desire to harness nature's power drove the human mind and body to build a dam in the hottest, driest area of the United States. People wanting to irrigate low lying plains, known as low desert areas, without suffering from flooding and the battle over water made it obvious to the United States government that the Colorado River was part of the solution.
