Preliminary land-use and land-cover mapping in the upper Okavango basin and implications for the Okavango delta
(Botswana Society, 2005)
Image processing in the upper Okavango catchment resulted in ten generalised classes which
may be used as base line data for monitoring future overall land-use/cover change assessments
over the entire upper catchment. ...
Islands in the Okavango delta as sinks of water-borne nutrients
(Botswana Society, 2005)
Groundwater under islands in the Okavango Delta is a known sink of inorganic dissolved minerals, preventing salinisation of this virtually enclosed evaporation-dominated hydrological system. The Okavango Delta is an ...
Aspects of seasonal dynamics of flooding in the Okavango delta

Forecasting the spatial extent of the annual flood in the Okavango delta, Botswana
(Elservier, www.elsevier.com, 2004)
The pristine Okavango Delta wetland of northern Botswana is potentially under threat due to water abstraction from its tributaries. We have developed a statistical model which makes it possible to predict the extent of ...
Spatial and seasonal variation of major cation and selected trace metal ion concentration in the Okavango-Maunachira-Khwai channels of the Okavango delta
(Botswana Society, 2005)
The concentration of the metal ions Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Mn, Co, Fe, Cr, Ni, and Pb were
determined in water samples of the Okavango Delta’s panhandle - Maunachira-Khwai water system during periods of high (June 2004) ...
