Abstract:
The ephemeral Kuiseb River periodically recharges shallow alluvial aquifers, which can provide essential water sources for riparian deep-rooted trees and wildlife (Kaseke et al. (2018, doi:10.4209/aaqr.2017.01.0062)). The annual occurrence days of Kuiseb River flooding at Gobabeb from 1964 to 2019 were collected from Morgan et al. (2021, doi:10.3390/rs13010051).
