- 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.
