Kuiseb River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (119 words) |
 | The Kuiseb River in Namibia is bordered on one side by the tallest sand dunes in the world, and on the other by barren rock. |
| The prevailing winds blow the dunes northward, but their movement is blocked by the river. |
| In the process, so much sand and silt is deposited in the Kuiseb that it only reaches the sea while it is in flood. |
| Kuiseb chosen for river basin plan (561 words) |
| The Kuiseb project is known as Environmental Learning and Action in the Kuiseb (ELAK) and was established in 2001 with funding from the European Union. |
| The users of the Kuiseb's resources are from Walvis Bay, the Topnaar community, the Namib Naukluft Park and the commercial farmers along the upper river in the Khomas Hochland. |
| She said although the Kuiseb was one of the mostly studied rivers in the country, there was not much information on the upper catchment area. |
