THE Kahn River is flowing past Usakos for the first time this year and residents of the small desert town are rejoicing.
Heavy rains fell to the east of Karibib between Okahandja and Wilhelmstal, as well as in the area of Omaruru on Wednesday afternoon which caused the river to flow strongly.
The Kahn River eventually feeds into the Swakop River and if rain continues, the water might very well reach the coast in a day or two.
It is the belief amongst some Namibians that if the Kahn River flows strongly past Usakos that the rainy season might be very good.
