Abstract
Botswana is a landlocked country situated in central southern Africa (approximately 20 -28° E and 18 - 26° S). It is a water-stressed country. Mean Annual Rainfall (MAR) ranges from under 140 mm to just under 600 mm. The average number of rain days receiving 5mm or more ranges from 18 to 26 days per year [1]. This means the average number of rainless days ranges from 339 to 357 days per year (Figure 1).
