Hoover Dam was built between 1931–1936 as a massive public-works project to control the Colorado River, supply hydroelectric power, and create Lake Mead for water storage.
Conservation
Lake Mead’s water levels vary with regional drought; stay on designated roads, carry out trash, and respect posted vegetation and wildlife protections.
