The River Mongo's source is Ma'Spa, a.k.a. Sekto Springs, I believe.
I suppose this isn't necessarily true. The map does not actually show the source of the river, so Ma'Spa could actually be a fair way from Sekto Springs. Again, I haven't played the game, but if Ghast's comment, “And if the dam was at a higher elevation then wouldn't the river have flowed more violently - gravity and all?” is accurate, then it seems the Tibetan region of the Mongo is not so near the source.

Incidentally, the velocity of a river's flow in the upper course is related to a generally steeper gradient. Gravity at a higher altitude would be less, although on Earth's surface this would be minimal to the point of being unnoticeable.
