A total of 101 Open points were identified, 54 along Juba River and 47 along Shabelle River.The Gu 2018 heavy rains led to increased river levels and subsequent additional river breakages. 205 Overflow (Overbank river spillage) points were also been identified. The estimated cumulative length of the Overflow sections along the river bank is approximately 82.6 km whose calculation is derived from visible spillages and fresh sand deposits during the flooding period. Several other points, which are either potential or temporarily closed with sandbags, have also been identified.
