Okavango Delta
For anyone who would like to do some homework on the Delta and the annual floods, I recently watched a couple of very good National Geographic documentaries: Into the Okavango; and The Flood.

Thanks.
When studying the Delta before our trip a few years ago, I found it most interesting, that during the flood and at other times, unlike most rivers in the world, all the Okavango's little streams and rivulets do not flow into a bigger river or to the ocean, they flow to nowhere and just drain into the sand or evaporate!
We timed our Z,B, and SA trip to be at the Falls at maximum flood stage and the Okavango full of water. Both the Victoria Falls and the Okavango were spectacular.

Never been to Tucson, I see.
I'm not counting arroyo flash floods!
Neither was I. Sabino Creek or Santa Cruz River are two examples in Tucson. I do my morning walk along Sabino Creek. It has flowing water about 4-6 months per year.
