- water is heavy

- pumped water gets used and flows to the oceans, far away

- we have pumped a lot of water (look up how much some places have subsided due to groundwater depletion).

- the earth's rotation is something we've worked out how to measure very, very precisely

It sounds completely plausible to me.

Totally. Prima facie bullshit. Problem is that the "I F@#$king Love Science" crowd doesn't actually know how anything about science or math, so they'll buy pretty much anything backed up by even low-quality technobabble.
