Water spills over the crest of a dam here, filling a canyon reservoir to the brim. Theodore Roosevelt made federal water development a priority, and the Reclamation Act of 1902 launched a national program of dams and irrigation in the arid West. Projects like this one stored seasonal river flow for farms and growing towns, though they also changed the canyons and wildlife that depended on free-flowing streams.
