Inda Zib'i is a reservoir located in the Inderta woreda of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia. The earthen dam that holds the reservoir was built in 1999 by SAERT. [1]

Dam characteristics

Capacity

In 2002, the life expectancy of the reservoir (the duration before it is filled with sediment) was estimated at 25 years. [1]

Irrigation

Environment

The catchment of the reservoir is 1.49 km² large, with a perimeter of 4.77 km and a length of 1320 metres. The reservoir suffers from rapid siltation. [2] [3] The lithology of the catchment is Agula Shale. [1] Part of the water that could be used for irrigation is lost through seepage; the positive side-effect is that this contributes to groundwater recharge. [4]
