Roosevelt lake is the biggest and first lake in the salt river. If he dam broke millions and billions of gallons of water would rush downstream to all the other dams. Because lake Roosevelt is the first lake and largest lake on the salt river, the other lakes get all of their water from it. If the dam were to break it would send all the water rushing downhill, breaking all the other dams and essentially destroying 95% of he phoenix area who's population is around 3.5 million. The water would be so backed up that the existing river that leads to the Colorado River would be over whelmed. All other water ways that lead to the Phoenix area such as the Santa Cruz river, would flood as well and extreme erosion would happen. The entire city of Phoenix would be under water and their local "mountains" (where I'm from those are just hills) would erode away. The continuous water flood would fill the Santa Cruz river that leads to Tucson, also destroying parts of that city that are around any river, creek or wash. If the water ever goes away it would overwhelm the Colorado river and erode away the land that Yuma sits on. If the water leaves Arizona will have 2 or 3 more grand canyons.

What would happen if the Theodore Roosevelt Dam broke?

If the Theodore Roosevelt Dam were to break, it could lead to catastrophic flooding in the surrounding areas, particularly downstream along the Salt River. This would pose significant risks to life, property, and infrastructure, potentially displacing thousands of residents.
