Implementing the Lesotho Highlands Transfer
Last updated
Last updated
Transfering water from the Highlands in Leshotho is an additional possible trans-boundary transfer.
To implement this transfer please follow the following steps:
Clone the baseline scenario and create a new scenario called 'Lesotho'
Change the max_flow on the Lesotho Highland Water Transfer Scheme to 0.373 Mm3/day
Run the scenario
Compare the simulated_volume of the Gaborone Reservoir and the simulation_flow of the Gaborone DC nodes against those of the Baseline and and Chobe Scenarios.
Similar to the Walvis Bay scenario, the Lesotho Highlands transfer (green) keeps the Gaborone Reservoir full most of the time and elminates the deficits in the Gaborone Demand Centre.
Please note that this scheme was modelled as a constant yield as modelling the hydrology of the Lesotho highlands was beyond the scope of the study.
