Three Gorges Dam

This will be more of an interesting fact. So, the Three Gorges Dam is the largest dam in the world. Its located in China. To keep it short, when it was built the workers had to divert a lot of water to the side of the river. This actually affected the rotation of the earth by a fraction. It may seem like nothing, but it's actually no easy feat.

As always here is a link to a video that explains everything on the subject.
