The dark side of the Hoover Dam includes the displacement of thousands of Native Americans, particularly the Hualapai and Paiute tribes, who lost their ancestral lands due to the dam's construction. Additionally, the project led to significant environmental impacts, including altered ecosystems and the flooding of the Colorado River's natural habitats. Labor conditions during construction were harsh, with many workers facing dangerous situations, and there were reports of fatalities. Lastly, the dam's creation also contributed to geopolitical tensions over water rights in the region.
There are six of them on the Colorado river. Glenn Canyon dam, Hoover dam, Davis dam, Parker dam, Palo Verde diversion dam and Imperial dam.
A nickname for the Hoover Dam is Boulder Dam.
