Question

Where is the largest dam in the world located?

Answer 1

I believe the three gorges dam is the largest

Answer 2

Worlds Largest Dams



Do you mean in terms of dimensions or perhaps just height? or water held or power generated?

Itaipu Dam on the border of Brazil and Paraguay is the biggest dam in the world right now and has the largest power generators.

The largest complete structure is the Syncrude Tailings in Canada, at 540,000cu m or 706,320cu yards

The highest dam is the Rogun in Tajikistan.

But when completed in 2009

Three Gorges Dam, in Hubei Province, China, will be the world's largest dam and largest concrete structure and create the largest lake. The dam will be built across the 3 Gorges section of the Yangtze River. It will be a 610-foot high wall running about 1.3 miles from bank to bank. Requiring 12 years and tens of thousands of workers to complete, the dam will cost $29 billion, and will create a 370 mile long lake, a distance equal to nearly half the length of California, that will be visible from Earth orbit.
