The Three Gorges Dam does not significantly affect the Earth’s rotation. The mass of water stored in the dam is distributed over such a large area that the extra weight does not add much to the Earth’s total mass or momentum.
The amount of water that can be held in the Three Gorges Dam is less than one thousandth of the total mass of the Earth’s water, meaning that its effect on the planet’s rotation is negligible.
