	Okavango Delta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The waters of the Okavango Delta are subject to seasonal flooding, which begins about mid-summer in the north and six months later in the south.
		The water from the delta is evaporated relatively rapidly by the high temperatures, resulting in a cycle of cresting and dropping water in the south.
		Within the past 20 years many people from all over the Okavango have migrated to Maun, and in the late 1960's and early 1970's over 4,000 Hambukushu refugees from Angola were settled in the area around Etsha in the western Panhandle.
