		One of the major obstacles for the project was determining the equitable allocation of the waters of the Colorado River.
		Several of the Colorado River Basin states feared that California, with its vast financial resources and great thirst for water, would be the first state to begin beneficial use of the waters of the Colorado River and therefore claim rights to the majority of the water.
		At the official beginning of the project on September 17, 1930, President Hoover's Secretary of the Interior Ray L. Wilbur, announced that the new dam on the Colorado River would be named Hoover Dam to honor the then President of the United States.

	Colorado River (U.S.) - Wikipedia
		Below the confluence of the Virgin River[?] of Nevada the Colorado abruptly turns again, this time southward, and flows as the boundary between Arizona and California and in part between Arizona and Nevada, and in prior decades through Mexican territory, some 450 miles farther to the Sea of Cortez in the Gulf of California.
		Below the Black Canyon[?] the river lessens in gradient, and in its lower course flows in a broad sedimentary valley'a distinct estuarine plain extending northward beyond Yuma and the channel through much of this region is bedded in a dyke-like embankment lying above the floodplain over which the escaping water spills in time of flood.
		One such aqueduct is the Central Arizona Project[?] ("CAP") canal which was begun in the 1970s and finished in the 1990s.
