Authorities identify source of flooding in Gweta

MAUN: The Department of water Affairs (DWA) has determined the source of recent Gweta/Zoroga floods as caused by low altitude of the two areas.

Head of aquatic and vegetation control unit Dr Kurugundla Naidu at Maun Water Affairs confirmed that they recently undertook preliminary assessments of the Gweta/Zoroga floods. Dr Naidu explained that the preliminary findings are that the two areas are low compared to the neighbouring areas and therefore prone to flooding.

He further stated that they further discovered that both areas have a shallow water table which further exacerbated their vulnerability to flooding. Dr Naidu said: “the area between Zoroga/Gweta have a low altitude. The flooding was exclusively caused by rainfall”
