Botswana Flood 2009 - A Perspective
The photo from space shows the water flooding into the Okavango Delta on March 24th, 2009 - the first of what could be the usual two peaks in a season. What a spike it has been. Water flow rates at Mohembo peaked in the 950-1000 cubes per second - one of the top one or two rates in the last 50 years. There is considerable flooding in and around Shakawe and this will spread down into the delta as the crest moves forward.
The Delta aready contains good water volumes. In Maun the Okavango River has been running now for 4 years - Like a return to the good old days. Lets see if this flood can make it to Orapa in July or August. If a second peak forms up - stay close to a boat. If your house is built on the melapo - forget.
