Abstract The Okavango Delta in North Botswana is a hot‐spot of biodiversity within the semi‐
arid central part of the South African plateau. This endorheic ecosystem is highly dependent …

The Okavango inland Delta in Botswana is characterized by a high spatial and temporal
variation in vegetation patches and flooding. Predicting the effects of escalating …

Abstract The Okavango Delta is southern Africa's largest wetland ecosystem and probably
the most pristine large wetland ecosystem in the world. Alex du Toit was the first to recognize …

We investigated the spatial and temporal variations of the stable isotope composition of
hydrogen (δD) and oxygen (δ 18 O) and the total dissolved ions (TDI) concentrations in the …

Solute cycling models for rivers in arid watersheds must identify solute sources and their
spatial and temporal connectivity to rivers to assess the processes that control the solute …

Water quantity and quality are important aspects in the management of aquatic ecosystems,
including wetlands. This paper has integrated available knowledge from literature on the …

Abstract In the Okavango Delta 98–99% of the water from inflow and rainfall is lost to the
atmosphere through evapotranspiration. As a consequence 94% of inflowing solutes are …

Detailed chemical analyses were performed on surface water, groundwater and sediment
samples collected from the Okavango Delta between February and November 2003 in order …

The surface of the 40 000 km2 Okavango alluvial fan is remarkably smooth, and almost
everywhere lies within two to three metres of a perfectly smooth theoretical surface …

We investigated hourly time-series of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the Okavango River at
the inlet and outlet of the Okavango Delta (Delta) in semi-arid Botswana. We estimated the …
