Title:

Water resources in the Cuvelai-Etosha Basin

Author(s):
Beyer M, Hipondoka M, Hamutoko J, Wanke H
Publication Year:
2018
Abstract:

The Cuvelai-Etosha Basin (CEB), a transboundary river basin shared almost equally by Angola in the north and Namibia in the south, is home to approximately 40% of the Namibian population. The CEB is an endorheic catchment - that is, there is no outflow of surface water from the basin. Reliable supply of fresh water is an omnipresent issue as there is only one rainy season (November–April) with limited rainfall and no perennial rivers.
