Boulder City Dam

Boulder City Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam located on the Colorado River in Nevada, built to regulate water flow, prevent flooding, and supply water to nearby areas. Completed in 1935, it helps store water for the Hoover Dam and supplies hydroelectric power, recreation, and irrigation. Its design allows it to efficiently transfer the force of the water into the surrounding rock formations, making it strong and stable. The dam also plays a crucial role in managing water resources for Southern Nevada, supporting cities like Las Vegas, and ensuring a reliable water supply in the region.
