Cloudburst in Mariental

RESIDENTS of Mariental were forced to evacuate their homes after water at least half a metre high, flooded the town. A cloudburst where up to 110 millimetres of rain fell in less than two hours to the north east of the small town caused the Auob River to come into flood and burst its banks, causing large volumes of water to flow over the flat plains towards the town. To the west of the B1 Road, farmers on the Hardap Irrigation scheme attempted to take emergency measures as the flood caused by the high volume of rain inundated their fields, which could lead to extensive damage to crops.
