| The Okavango Delta[2] (or Okavango Grassland) (formerly spelled "Okovango" or "Okovanggo") in Botswana is a swampy inland delta formed where the Okavango River reaches a tectonic trough at an altitude of 930xe2x80x931,000 m[3] in the central part of the endorheic basin of the Kalahari. | WIKI |
| The Okavango River drains the summer (Januaryxe2x80x93February) rainfall from the Angola highlands and the surge flows 1,200xc2xa0km (750xc2xa0mi) in around one month. | WIKI |
| When the water levels gradually recede, water remains in major canals and river beds, in waterholes and in a number of larger lagoons, which then attract increasing numbers of animals. | WIKI |
| The same species are found in the Zambezi River, indicating an historic link between the two river systems. | WIKI |
| The banks or levees of a river normally have a high mud content, and this combines with the sand in the riverxe2x80x99s load to continuously build up the river banks. | WIKI |
| In the delta, because the clean waters of the Okavango contain almost no mud, the riverxe2x80x99s load consists almost entirely of sand. | WIKI |
| They are long and thin and often curved like a gently meandering river because they are actually the natural banks of old river channels which over time have become blocked up by plant growth and sand deposition, resulting in the river changing course and the old river levees becoming islands. | WIKI |
| Due to the flatness of the delta and the large tonnage of sand flowing into it from the Okavango River, the floor of the delta is slowly but constantly rising. | WIKI |
| They are Hambukushu (also known as Mbukushu, Bukushu, Bukusu, Mabukuschu, Ghuva, Haghuva), Dceriku (Dxeriku, Diriku, Gciriku, Gceriku, Giriku, Niriku), Wayeyi (Bayei, Bayeyi, Yei), Bugakhwe (Kxoe, Khwe, Kwengo, Barakwena, G/anda) and ||anikhwe (Gxanekwe, //tanekwe, River Bushmen, Swamp Bushmen, G//ani, //ani, Xanekwe). | WIKI |
| The Hambukushu, Dceriku, and Bugakhwe are present along the Okavango River in Angola and in the Caprivi Strip of Namibia, and small numbers of Hambukushu and Bugakhwe are in Zambia, as well. | WIKI |
| ||anikhwe have inhabited the panhandle and the area along the Boro River through the Delta, as well as the area along the Boteti River. | WIKI |
| The geology of the area, a part of the African Rift Valley System, has resulted in the xe2x80x98capturexe2x80x99 of the Okavango River that has formed the Delta and its extensive waterways, swamps, flooded grasslands and floodplains. | UNESCO |
| The Okavango River, at 1,500kms, is the third largest in southern Africa. | UNESCO |
| The continuous transformation of geomorphic features such as islands, channels, river banks, flood plains, oxbow lakes and lagoons in turn influences the abiotic and biotic dynamics of the Delta including dryland grasslands and woodland habitats. | UNESCO |
| Most importantly, the source of the Okavango Deltaxe2x80x99s waters in Angola and Namibia remain unaffected by any upstream dams or significant water abstraction and the three riparian states have established a protocol under the Permanent Okavango River Basin Water Commission (OKACOM) for the sustainable management of the entire river system. | UNESCO |
