5 Largest Dams In The World

2. Baihetan Dam

Hydropower generation capacity: 16,000 MW

China’s Baihetan Dam is an arch dam that was constructed within a surprisingly short span of 4 years thanks to advanced construction equipment such as 3D printers and AI-controlled excavators and bulldozers. The dam is situated on the Jinsha River, which is a segment of Asia’s longest Yangtze River that has more than 50,000 dams built upon it. Baihetan Dam provides electricity to 75 million people.
