Here in Lesotho it is known as white gold – the water which plays such an important role in the country’s economy. The engineering marvel at the centre of this is incongruous in the country’s highlands - sited among the shepherds in traditional Basotho blankets and mud huts that make up this rural area. The Katse dam is a seriously impressive piece of design. Standing at 185m (600 feet) tall, it is Africa’s second largest curved dam.
