The Mosetse River is a natural watercourse in Botswana. Within the country of Botswana the Mosetse is a source of water to the ephemeral wetlands of the Makgadikgadi Pans, where a number of crustacean species of limited distribution thrive.Ann Hulsmans, Sofie Bracke, Kelle Moreau, Bruce J. Riddoch, Luc De Meester and Luc Brendonck, "[https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs10750-006-0233-x Dormant egg bank characteristics and hatching pattern of the Phallocryptus spinosa (Anostraca) population in the Makgadikgadi Pans (Botswana)], Hydrobiologia 571:1 (Nov. 2006), pages 123–132, Springer Netherlands, ISSN 0018-8158 (Print) 1573-5117.
