Abstract
The republic of Botswana is situated in central southern Africa. It shares common borders with Zambia, Rhodesia, the Republic of south Africa, southern-west Africa and Caprivi Strip. its total area is 220,000 square miles.
Physiographic ally, Botswana is an elevated basin having altitude of 3,000 - 4,000 feet. There are no perennial rivers except the Okovango and Chobe in the north east. Intermittent streams drain the eastern strip of Botswana into the Limpopo river, but virtually all other drainage is into pans, notably the extensive Makarikari Pans, where evaporation balances or exceeds inflow.
