Addi Shihu is a reservoir located in the Atsbi Wenberta woreda of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia. The earthen dam that holds the reservoir was built in 1997 by SAERT.[1]

Dam characteristics

Dam height: 10.8 metres
Dam crest length: 301 metres

Capacity

Original capacity: 1 million m³
Reservoir area: 36 ha

Irrigation

Designed irrigated area: 40 ha
Actual irrigated area in 2002: 13 ha

Environment

The catchment of the reservoir is 9.4 km² large. The reservoir suffers from rapid siltation.[2] 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.[3]

Homonymous places

The town of Addi Shihu, in Alaje woreda is located more than 100 km to the south.

gollark: As far as I know, as well as developmental differences, you would have different DNA due to different random selection from the pairs of genes you have now.

gollark: Why not try documenting NDBall programs next?

gollark: So sure.

gollark: That would probably be the closest thing to the documentation program I suggested which exists off the shelf.
