Moles Hooverana, olim Moles Boulderana appellata, est moles arcuata et gravitationalis in Valle Atra Colorati Fluminis, secundum fines civitatum Arizonae et Nivatae sita. Ex concreto constructa est ab anno 1931 ad 1936 per Magnam Depressionem Oeconomicam et dicata est die 30 Septembris 1935 a Praeside Franklinio D. Roosevelt. Constructio fuit eventus nisus magni, qui milia opificum et operariorum poposcit, ac morte hominum plus quam centum constitit. Moles ex Praeside Herberto Hoover in controversia appellata est.
Ex circa 1900, Valles Atra et Valles Boulderana propinqua
investigatae erant ob earum facultatem molis sustinendae quae
diluvia contineret, aquam irrigationis praeberet, et energiam
hydroelectricam generaret. Tandem anno 1928, Congressus propositum
sanxit. Licitatio selecta a consortio Six Companies, Inc. appellato
relata est, quod molem construere coepit anno 1931 ineunte.
Structura concreta talis magnitudinis numquam exstructa erat,
nonnullaeque ex technicis rationibus nondum probabantur. Torridum
aestatis caelum et inopia amoenitatum et commodorum prope locum
etiam difficultates erant. Nihilominus, Six Companies molem
reipublicae foederali die 1 Martii 1936 tradidit, plus quam duos
annos ante tempus.
Moles Hooverana Lacum Mead imponit, maximum lacum artificiosum
in Civitatibus Foederatis per volumen patens. Moles prope Urbem
Boulderanam Nivatae sita est, municipium primum pro operariis
propositi constructionis creatum, circa 30 miliae passuum ad
meridiorientem Camporum Nivatae situm. Electricae molis generatores
energiam utilitatibus publicae et privatae in Nivata, Arizona, et
California praebent. Moles Hooverana est maior illecebra
periegesis, quam paene millio hominum quotannis visunt. Strata
autocinetica 93, magno in usu, iugum molis peragrabat usque ad
Octobrem 2010, cum Circuitus Molis Hooveranae se panderet.
