No it doesnt affect it. In fact there are some compasses that utilize water as a surface. If the water caused a problem with the magnetic field of the earth, it would be useless for creating a compass; it would never be correct.

Can you use the compass under the power lines?
If the power lines were Direct Current, sometimes used for efficient long distance transmission, then your compass would definitely be affected, and may be quite useless. The high currents in such a long distance DC line will generate a magnetic field. With an Alternating Current power line, the alternating current itself should not cause any problem with the compass, but the steel of the towers themselves may certainly do so.

How is the Chinese compass important today?
Though it would be much easier to use a modern-day compass, you could use an ancient Chinese compass if you have a working one. Most compasses from ancient China would have had to be well preserved to work. Maybe it does work, but it would probably be inaccurate because of it's age. If it is in complete working order (you could probably go to a well reviewed pawn shop to tell if it works or is accurate) then yes, you could still use it. Not many people do, though. You could buy some that supposedly work on E-Bay for $700. YIKES!
What materials were used in the building?
It was laid down with steel construction, good, but it would lack modern specifications.
