Dig into the engineering of the Hoover Dam, a concrete arch-gravity dam on the Colorado River that supplies water to the US southwest.
--
In the early 20th century, the US had expanded from coast to coast, but many cities in the southwest still lacked reliable water sources. The Colorado River's erratic flow and frequent floods made it unreliable for agriculture, and the region’s growing cities needed more energy. So the government decided to build a massive hydroelectric dam. Alex Gendler details the creation of the Hoover Dam.
Lesson by Alex Gendler, directed by Jovan Rakic, Artrake Studio.

I live in Boulder City and grew up here. It is a great place to live. I used to go down to the Hoover Dam on the AZ side late at night when no one was around and just stare at it in awe. Truly a remarkable feat of engineering. I couldn't imagine what it was like at the bottom of the canyon or hanging off the side of it in 120 degree weather with barely any safety equipment.

Lake Mead, the reservoir behind hoover dam, is in crisis right now with historically low water levels. The water is getting so low that the power turbines can't operate at full capacity, and may have to be cut off completely soon. Also, there's going to be cuts to water distribution starting Jan 2022.

I live near a hydroelectric dam, but it’s not the Hoover Dam. It’s the John Hart Dam in Campbell River on Vancouver Island

I just seen the Hoover Dam. On one side it goes back an hour, and the other ahead. It was sad to see how low the water level was. A guesstimate would be by 60 plus feet.
