Here's a backgrounder on the Three Gorges Dam.

How A Massive Dam in China Slowed the Earth's Rotation

China has 9 of the 20 largest dams in the world, Three Gorges is the biggest. The part about slowing the Earth's rotation is bogus, but that's a lot of water.

And the cultural and environmental damage done just building it was immense.
