	Bechuanaland - LoveToKnow 1911
		To the north-east and connected with Ngami by the Botletle river, is the great Makari-Kari salt pan, which also drains a vast extent of territory, receiving in the rainy season a large volume of water.
		The climate is healthy and bracing, except in the lower valleys along the river banks and in the marsh land, where malarial fever is prevalent.
		That portion lying to the south of the Molopo river was described as British Bechuanaland, and was constituted a crown colony.

		The Okavango River is the principal river in Botswana.
		During the rainy season the river’s flow continues east on the Boteti River to Lake Xau and the Makgadikgadi Pan.
		The Limpopo, Ngotwane, and Marico rivers separate Botswana from South Africa in the east, and the Molopo River marks the southern boundary.

		The Orange river marks its southern limit; westward it reaches to the foot of the Nama and Damara hills, eastward to the cultivable parts of Bechuanaland, northward and north-westward to the valley of the Okavango and the bed of Lake Ngami.
		The Molopo and the Kuruman, which in their upper course in eastern Bechuanaland are perennial streams, lose their water by evaporation and percolation on their way westward through the Kalahari.
		The Molopo, a very imposing river on the map, is dry in its lower stretches.

	ORANGE - Online Information article about ORANGE
		Crossing the narrow coast plain the river, with a south-westerly sweep, enters the ocean by a single mouth, studded with small islands, in 28 37' S., 16 30' E. A large sand bar obstructs the entrance to the river, which is not quite 1 m.
		The river when in flood, at which time it has a depth of 4o ft., scours a channel through the bar, but the Orange is at all times inaccessible to sea-going vessels.
		Paterson, an English traveller, reached the river in its lower course, and in 1779 Paterson and Gordon journeyed along the west coast of the colony and explored the mouth of the river.

	Molopo River - Definition, explanation
		The river generally flows to the southwest from its source, and has a length of approximately 960 kilometres.
		River flow is intermittent, and although it is considered part of the Orange River system, it is only when in flood that the Molopo actually joins with the Orange River.
		The river provides a significant portion of the border between Botswana and South Africa.

		Calcretes are exposed in some sections in the eastern portion of the Molopo River, and to the south and southeast of Pomfret; they were correlated with the Mokalanen Formation.

		Molopo’s leases overlie Witwatersrand strata of the Free State Gold Field where underground gas emissions approximately one thousand metres below surface are an ongoing mine hazard.
		Molopo recently announced that it had increased its interest in the 250,000 hectares (625,000 acres or 2,500 sq km) of Exploration Rights to 100% after their initial award in May. The exploration acreage comprises two areas, the Free State with 500,000 acres and Mpumalanga with 125,000 acres.

		The position of the Molopo drainage at the southerly rim of the Kalahari basin must further be considered to be a complicating factor in the evolution of the drainage system.
		Mayer (1985), in his research on the heavy-mineral patterns in the upper reaches of the Harts River, concluded that the distribution pattern for andalusite heavy minerals reveals the existence of a portion of a palaeo-dispersal fan related to fluvial erosion of the andalusite-bearing hornfelses of the western Bushveld Complex.
		The position of the Molopo drainage at the south-easterly rim of the Kalahari Basin must be considered to be a complicating factor in the evolution of the drainage system as was also discussed by Thomas and Shaw (1988, 1992) in the case of the Zambezi River.
