The Katse River is located in the mountainous region of Lesotho, a landlocked country in Southern Africa. It flows through the scenic landscape, contributing to the water supply of the Katse Dam, which is one of the largest dams in Africa. The river plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and supports various wildlife. The Katse Dam, completed in 1996, is primarily used for hydroelectric power generation and irrigation. It is part of the larger Lesotho Highlands Water Project, which aims to provide water to South Africa while also benefiting Lesotho's economy. The river and dam together are vital for both environmental sustainability and regional development.
