Hoover dam is located between Arizona and Nevada on the Colorado River. The construction of the dam provided thousands of jobs when work was scarce in America. It was built during the Great Depression, being completed in 1935, two years before schedule. Working on the dam was hot, sweaty, and dangerous work. While the dam was being built, many new construction innovations came about. Lights were constructed around the site, which made 24 hour shifts possible. Also, the workers thought of using water from the river in a network of pipes to cool the concrete faster. The finished dam prevented flooding and provided needed irrigation and hydroelectric power.
