Original Note:
This is one of two spillways, which is part of the dam. However, they are only used during emergencies or when water levels in the reservoir are too high. The last time a spillway was used was in 1983. As of 6 March 2024, Lake Mead water levels were 1,076.56 feet MSL. https://www.usbr.gov/lc/hooverdam/history/essays/spillways.html https://mead.uslakes.info/level.asp
