Which two cities grew because of the Hoover Dam?

Las Vegas of course, the dam powers the town and Los Angeles takes advantage of the water from the dam

g) Renton\n\nIt's has a community feel to it.  It's close to the city of the country.  It's not as expensive as the ones you listed.  They are completely updating downtown and they have the great water park at the community center.

Dams: Three Gorges Dam\nChemical plants: Bhopal, Cherbonyl\nBridge: Quebec Bridge\n\n\nhehe, I had a class on those.

New Mexico's growing a lot!  There's Rio Rancho (fastest growing city) and Los Lunas (2nd fastest growing).  They're building homes here like CRAZY!!!

Hoover and Kennedy\n\nKennedy didn't graduate but Hoover did.

Las Vegas, Nevada. We are in the midst of a huge building boom right now. Lots of Condominium projects being built along with the hotel expansions.

fresh water --- the source is the snow melt from the Rocky Mountains.  The Hoover Dam impounds the Colorado River forming Lake Mead.  The "Lake" in Lake Mead is a misnomer --- it is technically a reservoir since it is formed by the impounding the Colorado River.  A true "lake" has no dam -- like Lake Tahoe or Crater Lake.

The seventeen main turbine-generator combinations at this powerhouse generate a maximum of 2,074 megawatts of hydroelectric power.\n\nGenerators at the Dam's Hoover Powerplant began to transmit electricity from the Colorado River a distance of 266 miles (364 km) to Los Angeles, California on October 26, 1936.\n\nFor more details see the link below.

I'm guessing this is about the transcontinental railroad.  If thats the case, it caused more immigration by...\n1. Directly creating jobs, many immigrants migrated and worked for the railroad industry.\n2. The Railroad industry itself allowed many other jobs across the US to be created due to the shipping of materials and goods to factories (which before weren't possible because there were no means of transportation.)  The materials used in factories allowed for faster production, which lead to the need for more workers, which lead to many immigrants coming to the US to work for low wages.

The benefits of building dams are beginning to be questioned by many people. Dams have provided great benefits of many kinds. As water reservoirs they are often essential to the survival of nearby communities. In areas where there is little rainfall like Arizona large dams are the main source of water for both large and small cities. The water held by these dams is coming from hundreds of miles upstream. In other areas dams were built for flood control purposes and have allowed farmers and communities to live better lives because large floods have been prevented. Most of these dams also provide an economic benefit, in the form of recreation, fishing, and tourism to the area. In other areas the dams have been built expressly to provide electricity, like in the Pacific Northwest. That area generates most of its electricity from dams and even supplies electricity to other states. Dams have allowed cities like Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Francisco, and even Los Angeles to have power and water supply. \n\nOn the negative side, river habitats are some of the most productive and diverse in most environments. Animals and plants rely on the river for water and sustenance. Flooding eliminates these habitats and often dramatically alters the habitat of the river downstream from the dam. There are now periodic artificial floods allowed in the Grand Canyon to help restore natural environments in the canyon. Another example of the negative effect of dams on the Colorado is that there is hardly any water left by the time the Colorado River reaches its delta area in Mexico. This once productive habitat is now dying and even fish populations in the Gulf of California have likely been affected. \n\nThere are economic impacts caused by dams as well. If Mexico had populated the Colorado River delta area significantly before the water was diverted to US cities there would be significant economic impact there. As it is, the area will probably never develop economically. Other impacts have been on migratory species like salmon, and the inability of salmon to return upstream to reproduce has reduced the ability of fisherman to earn a living fishing for salmon. \n\nYet another negative impact of dams is not well appreciated by most who oppose dams. Dams will catch all the sediment that is carried by a river, and when the river gets to the ocean it will no longer be carrying its original sediment load. Coastal areas in Texas no longer have a steady supply of sand to the beaches that were once supplied by the many rivers along the Texas coast. Those beaches are eroding and houses near the beach are being destroyed partially due to the lack of sand supply to the beaches. Millions of dollars are spent trying to save coastal areas that might not be in danger if not for dams on rivers preventing the supply of new beach sand. \n\nThe answer is not an easy decision. There have been many benefits to dams, but many of the disadvantages are slowly becoming clear.

I attended school in the Phoenix area in the 80's. Even at that time, you could begin to see growth in the suburbs surrounding the city.\n\nClimate (although hot in the summer) and housing affordability are two reasons people have given for moving to the area. Business 2.0 recently wrote a story about real estate hotspots and continue to mention the Southwest, especially the Phoenix area, as growth region for the next 10-20 years.

The Colorado River that originates in the Rocky Mountains and flows through the Grand Canyon. The Hoover Dam forms a lake known as Lake Mead that extends upstream as far as the mouth of the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River eventually drains into the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) in Mexico. \nhttp://www.desertusa.com/colorado/coloriv/du_coloriv.html\n\nThere are other rivers named the Colorado River, one of which flows through Austin, Texas and empties into the Gulf of Mexico.
