The biggest dam in the world right now is Itaipu Dam in Brazil.
Currently Under Construction: Three Gorges Dam, in Hubei province, China, will eventually be the world's largest dam and largest concrete structure when it is finished in 2009. 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.
