NASA research suggests that the massive water reservoir of China's Three Gorges Dam has a measurable, though tiny, effect on Earth's rotation by shifting mass toward the equator, highlighting how large-scale infrastructure can influence planetary physics.
The Three Gorges Dam in China is under severe pressure from extreme flooding, raising fears of a potential catastrophic failure. The dam's high water levels have led to the opening of more spillways, exacerbating downstream flooding. The situation is part of a broader pattern of extreme weather in China, with the north experiencing drought and the south facing relentless rains. If the dam breaks, it could result in a large-scale humanitarian crisis.
