To stop the Colorado River while constructing the Hoover Dam, engineers diverted the river using a system of cofferdams and tunnels. They built temporary dams upstream to redirect the water flow, allowing workers to excavate the riverbed and construct the dam itself in a dry area. This diversion was crucial for ensuring a stable foundation and safe working conditions during the construction process.

Why did Hoover choose Charles Curtis?

Charles Curtis was the Republican leader in the US Senate. He was Hoover's competition for the nomination in 1932. He was a good party man, so the convention made him Hoover's running mate after Hoover won the nomination. I do not think that Hoover particulary helped him get the nomination other than by not trying to stop it.
