The sheer power of the water was an amazing experience- never to be forgotten. 🎥 Trygve Roberts 🏠 Subscribe at www.MountainPassesSouthAfrica.co.za | Mountain Passes South Africa

The Katse Dam is one of the most significant engineering projects in southern Africa and plays a vital role in South Africa’s water supply. Situated in Lesotho’s Maloti Mountains, it forms part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, which transfers water to South Africa’s Gauteng Province, the country’s main industrial and economic hub. This dam helps secure a consistent water supply for millions of people and supports industries that drive South Africa’s economy. It also provides hydroelectric

The Katse Dam/Vaal River system is one of southern Africa’s most ambitious feats of water engineering and regional cooperation. High in the Maloti Mountains of Lesotho, the Katse Dam captures mountain runoff as part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, designed to move water from a water-rich country to the industrial heartland of South Africa. From Katse, water is gravity-fed through a network of deep transfer tunnels beneath the mountains, flowing northwards into South Africa. Instead of fo
