Katse Dam, Lesotho |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The weight of the water diverted into this reservoir by the Katse Dam in the southern African country of Lesotho caused minor earthquakes and damaged houses in surrounding villages. The dam, which is 182 meters high, represents the first phase of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project. Despite environmental concerns and allegations that several companies competing for project contracts violated international policies, the Highlands Water Project is scheduled for completion in 2015. | ||||||
