Katse Dam

 

Katse Dam is a huge dam in the highlands of Lesotho; it is located in a village called  Katse. The village was actually named after an old man that was the first and only resident of the village hence the dam also got the name "Katse" 

Katse Dam is located in a district called Thaba-Tseka. It is the second largest dam in Africa standing at a height of 185 meters and a width of 710 meters. It's construction ended in 1996 and is at the heart of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project(LHWP).
