    The Hoover Dam was built between 1931 and 1936 across the Colorado River in the Black Canyon between the states of Arizona and Nevada. It was constructed by Henry J. Kaiser and Gordon Kaufmann to provide a reliable water supply and hydroelectric power for cities like Los Angeles. The dam controls flooding on the Colorado River and provides irrigation water for over 1.5 million acres of land while generating enough power for over 500,000 homes. However, declining water levels in Lake Mead behind the dam have reduced its power generation capacity by almost half.
