From May through September 1931, deadly heat claimed victims, with temperatures ranging between 110-120 and peaking at 140 in the airless portals of the diversion tunnels. Photographer Ben Glaha's "Workman with Water Bag" became an icon of the entire project the determination of muscular workers to bring water to the thirsty Southwest. (Used with permission.13) Little was known about the cause or prevention of heat exhaustion, and only the water boys and the bags they carried offered any relief at the dam site. Some crews worked in dangerous locations where water boys could not go; and some men believed drinking water only increased their discomfort. Eventually doctors encouraged water consumption and an increased salt intake, and the heat-related deaths dwindled. |
