Some of the first outcomes of a project aiming at mapping the renewable energy potential in Lesotho are hereby presented. In particular, the present paper deals with the task of the project devoted to produce a digital hydrographic map of Lesotho and an associated geographic database. Different geographical, meteorological and hydrological data were collected in the first steps of the project. The hydrographic network was derived in vector format from a digital elevation model of Lesotho using geoprocessing tools in GIS environment. Results were compared with existing cartography and satellite images. Moreover, a methodology proposed in literature for the assessment of the theoretical maximum hydroelectric producibility at watershed level in Italy was applied to one of the main catchment areas of Lesotho. The activities planned to fulfil the objectives of the project are finally outlined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
