The senior hydrologist in the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform, Leonard Hango, has warned that Namibia should expect a second floodwave from Angola in the next few days.
Hango and a team of other hydrologists visited Angola on Wednesday to monitor and assess the flow of water from that country.
According to Hango, when they arrived at Santa Clara, they noticed massive water volume in the stream between Santa Clara and Namacunde that flows west of Oshikango into the Engela stream.
“This 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,” Hango said.
He added that at Evale in Angola, along the main Cuvelai channel that drains from Cuvelai town and Mupa, there was no flooding.
“Water there is just concentrated in the main course of the river. There is no flooding in the flood plains,” he said.
According to Hango, at the Oshana sha Nalumono stream in Engela constituency, the main stream that brings water into Endola, Okatana and Oshakati, they observed that the floodwave that they observed in around Ondjiva and Onamacunde is not yet in Namibia.
“It is still to pass the borders or, if it has crossed the borders, it has not yet been registered,” Hango added.
