View Comments HOOVER DAM With the concrete towers of Hoover Dam in the background and the depleted waters of the nation’s largest reservoir below, an unlikely group of allies conservation activists, businesspeople and officials representing cities and farming communities  on Thursday called for halting all plans that would take more water from the shrinking Colorado River.
