Water Affairs chief rules out flooding

Dr Gugundla Naidu of the Maun Water Affairs Department, which observes water in the rivers, told Mmegi yesterday that this year water volume has failed to rise to the levels recorded last year.

The flood movement is also too slow compared to last year's flow. He said in April 2011 the highest peak at Mohembo recorded 4,015 metres height and a discharge rate of 1,159.04 cubic metres per second but this year's came at 3,356 metres and 845.5 cubic metres per second of discharge.
