	Kunene River -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		At Chiamelu to the south the Kunene flows in a steep granite bed but leaves the granite uplands at Matala, falling about 42 feet (13 m) before entering the northern portion of the Kalahari Desert, where in the wet season it floods the sands.
		Kaokoland is bordered by Angola and the Kunene River to the north, the Owambo geographic region to the east, the Hoanib River to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
		Rivers are also a principal natural force in shaping land surfaces.

	Epupa Falls and the Kunene River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The river banks are thick with lush vegetation and commanded by tall, shady, makalani palm trees, creating a perfect habitat for birds, insects and animals that are otherwise largely unknown in Namibia.
		The Kunene is however a powerful river flowing in a deep, narrow channel and the force of water that cascades over the main 40m drop is a spectacular sight, the river spray being thrown high up into the air.
		For the energetic, there are excellent hikes to be taken in either direction along the river bank but the main occupation at Epupa is sitting in the shade under the palm trees, and watching the crocodiles and the river flow by while listening to the music of the wind in the palm fronds.

		Fortunately, this section of the Kunene dropped 80 metres in altitude and was interrupted by numerous short and fairly fast grade-two rapids which made for rapid progress.

		Apart from mopane savannah in the east and gallery forests along the Kunene, vegetation in the Kaokoveld is largely confined to ephemeral watercourses.

		On the edge of the desert where the Kunene becomes quiet, ephemeral tributaries reach the river through valleys in the mountains, among the remotest places in the whole of Namibia.

		Ephemeral rivers traverse the Namib from east to west in the wide open spaces between the Kunene and Orange.

		The rivers that carried sediment down the escarpment and into the Namib are long gone, but the Orange or !Gariep* -- the Great River that brought diamonds to Namibia in addition to sand from the subcontinental interior -- is still doing so to this day.

		The proposed Epupa dam project - to be built on the Kunene river in the north-west of the country - would dramatically alter the environment by flooding a vast expanse of the region.
		Although this would require long-settled tribes to be moved and destroy the beautiful Epupa valley, government officials in the country's capital Windhoek defend the dam almost as a matter of national pride.
		The Epupa dam project is particularly suited to hydropower because of the steep gradient of the Kunene to the coast, Mr Haines adds.
