Senior Hydrologist Leonard Hango in the Cuvelai Etosha Basin says floods in the Cuvelai remain stable, as levels at the border are declining gradually.

In an interview with nbc News Leonard Hango says in many parts of the affected constituencies, most streams are maintaining high water levels.

"However, the central Cuvelai still maintains high levels of inundation in the constituencies like Oshakati-East, Ongwediva, Oshakati-West, Ompundja constituency and western Okatjali constituency. So the inundation is high because we have a lot of areas that are still ever-topped, and as the wave is progressing, going downstream south towards Etosha Pan, it is still overtopping many areas, especially in the Ompundja constituency and Uuvudhiya constituency. Out:
The 
Elim and Ogongo constituencies on the western side still maintain high water levels.

The water flow is still significant in streams starting from Engela, down west of Outapi.

According to Hango, the last three days' showers in some parts of the northern regions have made the situation worse.

He is hopeful that the flooding will begin to normalise towards the end of June, should there be no significant rainfall events received in the coming weeks. 

"But because of saturation of the soil, now the draining patterns or the dryness are slow in that regard."

Hango was quick to caution the public in the affected constituencies in the Oshana, Omusati, Ohangwena, and Oshikoto regions to refrain from attempting to cross high levels of water to avoid drownings.

"And then they check on each other, and there are still cases of drowning that are being reported in the region, and that is not sitting well with us."
