Leonard Hango, the senior hydrologist in Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform, has warned Namibia to expect another floodwave from Angola within the next few days.<\/b><\/p>\n
Hango and other hydrologists visited Angola Wednesday to assess and monitor the flow of water from the country.<\/p>\n
Hango claims that they saw huge amounts of water in the stream running west from Oshikango to Santa Clara when they arrived. It flows into the Engela stream. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis signifies the arrival of the second wave from Ondjiva towards the Namibian border and it will spread to the rest of the Cuvelai system in Namibia,\u201d Hango said. <\/p>\n
He also stated that there was no flooding at Evale in Angola along the main Cuvelai canal that drains from Cuvelai city and Mupa. <\/p>\n
\u201cWater there is just concentrated in the main course of the river. There is no flooding in the flood plains,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Hango stated that they were at the Oshana Sha Nalumono stream, which is the main stream that brings water to Endola, Okatana, and Oshakati and observed a floodwave in the area of Ondjiva.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is still to pass the borders or, if it has crossed the borders, it has not yet been registered,\u201d Hango added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
