Katse Dam

The Katse Dam is located amidst the lush mountain landscape of Lesotho. The dam was built in the Malibamatso river and ensures that twice as much water is pumped to the Vaal Dam below Johannesburg. Delivering water to South Africa generates a lot of money for Lesotho. In addition, the dam provides over 72 megawatts of electricity for the region.
