Eiseb River
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Eiseb River, also known as the Eiseb Omuramba, is an ephemeral river or omuramba in the Kalahari Desert of eastern Namibia and north-western Botswana. It forms part of the Eiseb-Epukiro drainage system and drains eastwards towards the Okavango Delta. The river is one of several fossil or intermittent river courses in the northern Kalahari. Like other omiramba, it carries surface water only after rainfall events, while its riverbed and associated alluvial deposits are important for groundwater, grazing, settlement and local water use in an otherwise semi-arid environment.
Flows through: Namibia.
