The Bartlett Dam was a multiple arch reinforced concrete dam erected on the Verde River 36 miles northeast of Phoenix between 1936-1939. It was the highest dam of its type in existence. It was built by the Dept. of the Interior for the Salt River Water Users Association to store flood water of the Verde River render unnecessary the lowering of the reservoir along the Salt River during growing season and produce hydroelectric power for the region and city of Phoenix. The entire Salt River Project remains controversial to this day because of its initial funding that was guaranteed by the pledge of resident's land as collateral for federal loans to finance the project. Non-landowners were and are not permitted to vote on any issue in regard to the dam or its power generation to this day. The report covers all facets of construction supply and planning for the dam from the initial concrete plant through completion. It is thorough and highly detailed. The construction photographs are especially useful. Not Published hardcover books
