Imbagedo is a reservoir located in the Inderta woreda of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia. The earthen dam that holds the reservoir was built in 1998 by SAERT.[1]

Dam characteristics

  • Dam height: 20 metres
  • Dam crest length: 328 metres
  • Spillway width: 20 metres

Capacity

  • Original capacity: 1 776 278 m³
  • Dead storage: 360 000 m³
  • Reservoir area: 36 ha

In 2002, the life expectancy of the reservoir (the duration before it is filled with sediment) was estimated at 24 years.[1]

Irrigation

  • Designed irrigated area: 80 ha

Environment

The catchment of the reservoir is 12.4 km² large. The reservoir suffers from rapid siltation.[2][3] 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]
