Engineering feats at Roosevelt dam reshapes American West
The Roosevelt dam project promises a massive water reservoir flooding 2 000 square miles to a depth of a foot. Verde and Salado rivers drain 6 260 square miles as arid Salt River valley becomes a key irrigation source. The masonry arch dam rises 284 feet with a top length of 1 080 feet and required over 400 000 cubic yards of masonry. Cement and concrete come from on site via a $2 per barrel plant, saving nearly half a million. The project will supply 2 000 acres of farmland and sustain crops valued up to 160 dollars per acre annually.
