| Description |
First water over Grand Coulee, in June 1940, made this picture of a man-made waterfall, 183 ft. higher than Niagara. Already generating power, the dam will pump water onto 1,200,000 arid acres in the Grand Coulee, 280 ft. above dam at the right.
Clipping of the first water for Gila Canal runs down from headworks at Arizona end of Imperial Dam. Muddy water of Colorado is desilted in huge basins before it is permitted to run into All-Americans on west and Gila Canal on east side of river and of the first over Grand Coulee. |
