Abstract
It is proposed to build a rock-fill dam in a narrow canyon of the Colorado River by blasting in the canyon walls. The dam described in this paper was designed to raise the water 700 ft. above the bed of the river. Both the height of the dam and the plan suggested for its construction are unique features. The walls of the canyon rise 1300 ft. above the river, and the width of the canyon at the water surface is 450 ft.
