Biggest depends on your dimension. In the case of hydro electric dams, the largest installed capacity is the Three Gorges Dam in China; in terms of present power output, then the Iatipu in S America; but if in terms of tallest, then the Nurek dam in Takikistan at 300m tall is the one.

And of course, the usable acre-feet of water, or the area covered by water may also have the dimension 'big'.
