What is Hoover Dam: Key Facts and Impact about?

Hoover Dam, constructed between 1931 and 1936 and dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is a concrete dam on the Colorado River, serving purposes such as power generation, flood control, and water storage. The construction involved thousands of workers and cost $49 million, resulting in the creation of Lake Mead but also negatively impacting local biodiversity by endangering four fish species. Originally named Boulder Dam, it was controversially renamed after President Herbert Hoover.
