History
Completed in 1936, Hoover Dam was a massive federal project that provided jobs during the Great Depression and created Lake Mead, radically changing water and power distribution in the Southwest.
Conservation
Lake Mead and regional water supplies face long-term stress from drought; visitors are encouraged to use water responsibly and follow Leave No Trace principles around sensitive desert habitats.
