Ah the rabbit hole of HN.
From Wikipedia about the largest dam in the world: 3 georges dam in China.
Mind-boggling size:
"Terrestrial impact
In 2005, NASA scientists calculated that the shift of water mass stored by the dams would increase the total length of the Earth's day by 0.06 microseconds and make the Earth slightly more round in the middle and flat on the poles.[104] A study published in 2022 in the journal Open Geosciences suggests that the change of reservoir water level affects the gravity field in western Sichuan, which in turn affects the seismicity in that area.[105]
