| Abstract: |
The government of Lesotho, in partnership with the Republic of South Africa, invested in the construction of Katse, Mohale and Muela dams in the 1980s but since then there is no evidence of these two bodies of water contributing towards agricultural production in Lesotho. The primary business for the construction of these two dams is to supply South Africa with water but Lesotho can maximize on this venture and cost effectively utilize the water for agricultural purposes especially through drip irrigation. The water resource can also boost tourism ventures and the conservation of the environment around the reservoirs. All these ventures, if fully and meaningfully explored, can create much needed employment for local communities. This study therefore seeks to explore the potential presented by the existence of the two dams in Lesotho, especially for boosting agricultural production and establish Lesotho as an independent producer of its own food to feed the nation and boost industry at the same time. Using qualitative methods of data gathering, presentation and analysis, this study sought to establish the efforts by the responsible authorities in Lesotho to boost agriculture production in order to establish a solid agricultural base through irrigation schemes from the dams. |
