When was the Hoover dam completed and handed over to the government?

also built 15 million dollars UNDER budget. Does not happen today.

today you can't build something like that without years of impact studies first.

Now the lake it created is going dry

It was part of FDR's works program to help people during the Depression by giving them jobs

CharlieHustle, Consider that it was built during the Great Depression. Labor was cheap.

wonder if my son, Nicholaus has seen this in Arizona? xoxo happy leap day!

Radakyl, much of the good water is being wasted on many swimming pools, watering lawns etc. not only is Lake Mead is drying up, also the electric power from the Hoover Dam is in jeopardy of being shut down and millions of people may loose electricity in their homes etc. scary is it,

Is an amazing place 👍🏻

I drove across it with my tour bus, & stopped to take pictures in the middle. Needless to say, we got in trouble & were swarmed by several security personnel when we got to the other side. A fun memory though.

Radakyl, I heard something about that also. Anybody know for sure any details? Please comment if you're certain of the facts.
