05 June, 2020
Following a halt due to Covid 19, work has now resumed on Phase 2 of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project with the start of excavation of two diversion tunnels on the Senqu River. The tunnels will not only enable the construction of the Polihali Dam, but also increase floodwater-carrying capacity and provide the ability to work in one tunnel while the river flows through the other.
