The Hoover Dam was built primarily to provide flood control, water storage, and hydroelectric power generation for the southwestern United States. Constructed during the Great Depression, it aimed to harness the Colorado River’s flow, ensuring a reliable water supply for agriculture and urban development in the arid region. Additionally, the dam played a crucial role in promoting economic growth and stability during a challenging economic period. Its construction also provided thousands of jobs, contributing to relief efforts during the Depression.
