What are the negative and positive impacts of the Hoover Dam?

Hoover Dam construction put many laborers to work for relatively good wages during the Great Depression. The power and water from the project created additional opportunities for growth in southern Nevada, southern California, and eventually central Arizona. Control of the water allowed production of great crops in deserts from the Imperial Valley to near Phoenix. Lake Mead provides extensive flatwater recreation opportunities in a dry landscape. Problems occurred with eventual overuse of the water from the Colorado River among the states in the basin, along with controversies for allocation of the water that continue to grow today. Ecological effects of the dams and diversions include changing the flow so that the river no longer flows into Mexico, the water temperature is lower which affects certain native fish, and quagga mussels have invaded Lake Mead and clog water distribution facilities. Lake Mead elevation has dropped to the extent that some marinas have closed. Sediment is filling the Lake Mead bottom at an alarming rate, despite Glen Canyon Dam catching some sediment about 270 miles upstream, and the first 10 miles of the reservoir below the Grand Canyon are mostly filled with sediment already. Las Vegas has recently sought water from underground basins in eastern Nevada to fill projected future demands from the city's growth beyond what is now expected from Lake Mead.

What plate boundary is the Nevada mountains?

The Nevada mountains primarily lie within the context of the Basin and Range Province, which is characterized by extensional tectonics. This region is not directly at a plate boundary but is influenced by the interactions between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. As the Pacific Plate moves northwestward, it causes stretching and thinning of the crust in Nevada, leading to the formation of mountain ranges and valleys. Thus, while not a classic plate boundary, the tectonic activity in the area is related to nearby plate movements.

Is clark county Nevada democratic or republican?

Voting in Nevada has traditionally run with Idaho, Utah and other conservative mountain states of the West on most political issues. However, the demographics have changed dramatically over the years due to extensive urbanization in the Las Vegas and Reno areas, and Nevada is now generally considered a "swing" state which can vote for more liberal candidates in the national elections. Nevada voted for Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama for President in recent decades. It is no longer meaningful to have a blanket label because it depends on the issue at hand. The US Senate currently has a Majority Leader from Nevada in Harry Reid. There are three moderate Democrats and two Republicans from Nevada in Congress, including former chair of the National Republican Committee John Ensign. The state legislature is strongly controlled by Democrat majorities. Governor Jim Gibbons is Republican. There is a perceived north-south divide in the state, with more conservative northern legislators competing against the growing southern majority on many issues. The more real political divide is urban versus rural, especially in competition for scarce water resources for local use or long-distance exports.
