Coords or map?

Could some coordinates, or maybe a map, be added? I don't know enough of the area to confidently add anything. Though, looks to be about 19°50’N and about 55° to 57° E. [1] [2]. Chris857 (talk) 02:55, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Incomprehensible

Plains are fertile areas. The eastern boundary is both an escarpment with hills on one side (no, that's not an escarpment), then a depression, then the sea, and by the sea. There are lagoons, but where, pick a boundary.

What is Yalooni?

When does humidity rise with rainfall that low!? Could be consecutive rainless years? Precip that low, seems mandatory. --(AfadsBad (talk) 10:11, 2 October 2013 (UTC))

My understanding is that it's like the coastal Kalahari, namely that the precipitation is low, but that moisture from mist and fog is captured by plants in the winter, so that the total annual supply of water is not equal to the precipitation. I think this is what "[f]og moisture and dew cause rain during the nights" is supposed to mean, but it's very confused. It needs attention from someone who understands how meteorological measurements are made; my guess is that rainfall gauges which are used to determine precipitation don't measure mist and fog capture, but I don't know this.

I added a bit to clarify what "Yalooni" is; could still be improved upon. Hamamelis (talk) 16:05, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, both of you. The topic is interesting and needs a useful article. --(AfadsBad (talk) 17:15, 3 October 2013 (UTC))

Flora and fauna

I don't understand. Why have the entire flora and fauna sections been removed from the article? --MelanieN (talk) 14:31, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
