Description
Description | The Lesotho Highlands Water Project is a multi-billion-dollar initiative launched in 1986 that channels water from Lesotho's highlands, primarily through the Katse and Mohale dams, into South Africa's industrial and economic hubs, including Johannesburg. It currently transfers 800 million cubic metres of water annually, supplying about 60 percent of Johannesburg's needs. The project is central to Lesotho's water trade with South Africa, generating over $300 million annually in royalties. There are ongoing talks to renegotiate the agreement to increase royalties and ensure fairer compensation. The second phase of the project is delayed and now expected to be completed by 2030, which could prolong water shortages in South Africa. |
