SAAE urges an end to water being released from Lesotho dams unnecessarily

Revised operating rules for the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) are currently being negotiated, and South Africa must use the opportunity to improve operation, reduce waste and keep the region water secure, the South African Academy of Engineering (SAAE) said in a new advisory note. In a statement accompanying its Building a Better post-Covid Water Sector Advisory Note 5: Revision of operating rules for the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, the SAAE called on the South African government to engage urgently with Lesotho to end the wasteful release of water from Katse and Mohale dams.
