	Boulder Canyon Project - Hoover Dam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)

		The design of Boulder Dam evolved during several years of study that involved the efforts of some 200 engineers and other workers in Reclamation's design office in Denver and several consulting firms that were retained during the design process.
		The temporary coffer dam consisted of rock and gravel from the tunnel excavations that was dumped into the river from a temporary trestle built for that purpose and was completed in less than 24 hours, diverting the entire flow of the river through the Arizona tunnels.

		In February 1935, as the dam neared completion, the diversion tunnels were closed, the Colorado was penned, and the new reservoir began filling with water.
		Boulder dam (renamed Hoover Dam in 1947) was heralded as a "conquest of nature" by Harold Ickes, Roosevelt's Interior Secretary.
