The Hoover Dam‚ a tremendous barrier holding up the powerful Colorado River‚ was built during the Great Depression. This project gave an average of 21‚000 people a job around the United States‚ hiring six companies. Construction on the Hoover Dam started April 20‚ 1931 and ended March 1‚ 1936; two years ahead of schedule. This was the world’s largest dam at the time; capable of holding 9 trillion gallons of water‚ weighing close to 6.6 million tons requiring 3‚250‚000 cubic yards of concrete as well

Sand Dams in Kenya WHAT IS A SAND DAM? A Sand Dam is a steel reinforced concrete wall built across a sandy riverbed. During rainy seasons‚ a seasonal river forms and carries soil (consisting of sand and silt) which moves downstream. The heavy sand builds up behind the dam‚ whereas lighter sand and silt washes over the wall of the dam. Within the space of one to four rainy seasons‚ these dam types get completely filled with sand. However‚ approximately 40% of the volume held behind the dam is
