do you mean "momentum" of inertia?
I don't know, I think that's kind of a stretch to think the at flow of water is causing problems with spin of the earth...there's no way that there is enough water flow in only one general direction (I'm willing to bet that, on average, it flows in all directions relatively equally) to cause a big enough effect on the spin of the earth.

No.

The effect wouldn't be noticable except to precision instruments. Today, humans can track the dynamics of the Earth witih high precision.
