The project’s objective is to provide about 56,000 cubic meters of water
per day until year of 2025 in order to satisfy the demand for water of
households, agriculture and industries in the capital Maseru, the three
neighboring cities and the surrounding villages. This will be achieved
by building a concrete dam on the Southern stream of the Vuthiatsana
River. The dam is 68 meters high from the river base; 210 meters length
at the top; with estimated storage capacity of 52 million cubic meters
of water. To achieve the goal, the project also consists of a
construction of four pumping stations, one for pumping raw water into
the water processing station, whose capacity is 940 liters per second.
The three other pumping stations will be assigned to pump the treated
water to the recipient regions. The project includes installation of a
water treatment plant with a capacity of 80000 cubic meters per day,
building water reservoirs and installing a water pipeline of 89
kilometers, using pipes of different diameters, ranging from 200 to 800
mm . |
