The largest hidroelectric dam is ITAIPÚ where Brazil and Paraguay meetand still will be for many decades. While Three Gorges dam is phisically larger, it will never have the water flux to reach the megawatts that Itaipú generates. Besides, because of local geological considerations, Three Gorges will have a short useful life of only about 30 years due to high rates of sedimentation.
