 You Wouldn't Want to Work on the Hoover Dam! An Explosive Job You'd Rather Not Do
|
In 1930s America, life is hard and many people are out of work. But you have the chance to work on a truly massive building project: a giant dam that will provide power and water for years to come, and prevent the devastating floods caused by the Colorado River. It will be an achievement to be proud of something to tell your grandchildren about.
The Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona.
