	Colorado River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From Hoover Dam, the river flows south and forms part of the boundary between Arizona and Nevada, and the border between Arizona and California.
		But it was effectively dammed in the early part of 1907 and returned to its normal course, from which, however, there was still much leakage to the Salton Sea.
		The lower river from Davis Dam to Yuma is navigable by large paddlewheel boats and river barges, but commercial navigation on the river is unimportant because the river is cut off from the sea and other means of transportation are more efficient in the region.

	The Hoover Dam by David Moore
		The discussion of dam construction is divided into three major segments: the diversion tunnels and penstocks, the concrete-arched structure, and the power plant.
		After the concrete dam was finished, all four diversionary tunnels were plugged with concrete allowing the water level to rise on the dam.
		It is said that operating the Hoover Dam with its controlled water releases to the Parker Dam was critical to the drinking water and industrial expansion of the rich southern California cities.

		Davis Dam is named after the late Arthur Powell Davis, director of the U.S.Bureau of Reclamation from 1914 until 1923.

		Davis Dam, at the northern end of Bullhead City, is an earthen dam with concrete spillway that holds back the 68-mile-long Lake Mohave, a haven for boaters and fishing enthusiasts year-round.

	Davis Dam Releases to Drop Again, Parker Dam Releases to Increase to Prevent Lake Havasu Spil 25-February-05
		The releases from Davis Dam, which have been averaging 2,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) since February 16, were dropped to approximately 1,400 cfs this afternoon in an effort to determine what impact that level of flow would have on the Mohave Generating Station.
		Davis Dam releases were last at the 1,400 cfs level in January 1993.
		Current projections are that Davis Dam releases could return to the 2,000 cfs level after Sunday, and increase to 3,800 cfs by the second week of March.

	U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District - Davis Island Lock and Dam
		The origins of the Davis Island project lay in the natural conditions of the lower Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers, which had such inadequate dry-weather flow that their depth could be measured in inches.
		It was during such a seasonal dry spell and accompanying economic recession in 1871 that Pittsburgh industrialists and businessmen launched their campaign to secure for the city a reliable harbor with a year-round depth for navigation.
		Operating the giant lock and dam at Davis Island, with its many complex mechanisms devised by European engineers and by Merrill and his staff, proved to be a task as formidable as its planning and construction.
