The Pati Dam is located in Argentina and is the fourth largest dam in the world. The dam is 2,620 feet long and parts of it are still under construction.
The largest dam in Scotland is the Ben Cruachan Dam, which is part of the Cruachan Hydroelectric Power Station. It is located near Loch Awe and generates electricity by using water stored in an artificial reservoir.
The Tree Gorges Dam in China is the world's largest dam project. It has already changed the surrounding ecology and geography. The Three Gorges Dam itself, however, is not intended to change over time.
The construction of the Pati Dam began during 1996-1997.
The Three Gorges Dam was built on the Yangtze River in China. It spans across the provinces of Hubei and Sichuan.
The New Cornelia Tailings Dam is cited as one of the world's largest dams. It was not constructed but rather formed from the waste rock (tailings) from the local mine. It was closed in 1983.
Merriespruit tailings dam disaster happened in 1994.
Canada-Syncrude Tailings Dam
New Cornelia Tailings of Pima County, Arizona is one of the largest mine tailings piles in the world: 7.4 billion cubic feet, the New Cornelia Tailings is often cited as the largest dam structure in the country, by volume (the tailings, waste material from the mining process, were heaped into a pile that created a holding structure for future tailings, some of which were deposited in a pumped slurry, thus the tailings pile is an "impoundment" or dam). The mine that produced the tailings, the 1.5 mile wide open pit New Cornelia Mine, is owned by Phelps Dodge, and is presently in limbo (shut down in 1983). A project to mine the tailings has been proposed. The next in size is the Fort Peck Dam, 21,430 ft (6,531 m) long and 250 ft (76 m) high, on the Missouri River, NE Mont.; one of the world's largest earth-filled dams.
