Mopipi

Mopipi is a village in Central District of Botswana. It is located close to Makgadikgadi Pan. The population was 3,066 in 2001 census.[2] This area has witnessed steady aridification and desertfication since the Pleistocene, but perhaps most dramatically since the 19th century.[3] In particular, the Boteti River used to flow year around in this area[3] on its way to discharge to the Makgadikgadi Pans,[4] but presently this flow is only in the rainy season.
