SUMMARY:Illustrated talk - Prof Ezekeil Kwembeya: "Rain Falling or Disappearing? Understanding Namibia’s Rainfall Mystery”
DESCRIPTION:Using data from 57 stations (2010–2020)\, the study finds Namibia’s rainfall is declining and unevenly distributed. Nearly 87% of months recorded under 50 mm\, with droughts in 2013\, 2015\, 2018\, and 2019. While Zambezi stayed relatively wet\, regions like Erongo and Karas dried. The findings stress urgent\, region-specific adaptation and water management strategies. \nTime: 19h00  \nNational Botanic Research Institute\, 8 Orban Street \nRefreshments will be available afterwards \nEnquiries: 081 248 7362 \nAll welcome!
