Parker Dam, located on the Colorado River between Arizona and California, was constructed between 1934 and 1938 with funds from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Recognized as the deepest dam in the world, it provides essential water and power benefits to the lower Colorado River Basin, particularly through its reservoir, Lake Havasu, which can hold nearly 211 billion gallons of water.
The hydropower generated by Parker Dam and its associated facilities is marketed to various users throughout the Southwest, supporting water supply systems for metropolitan areas like Los Angeles. Additionally, the Central Arizona Project facilitates the delivery of Colorado River water across central and southern Arizona, providing crucial resources for cities, industries, and agricultural areas in the region.
