Introduction The Hoover Dam is located in the northwest of Arizona. It is about 40 kilometers southeast from Las Vegas.

Such a huge dam is rare in the world. It is like a giant dragon lying on the ground, which is very mighty. After the dam is completed, it will play a huge role in the development of industry and agriculture. The reservoir of the Hoover Dam is the famous Lake Mead.
