Шаблон:Infobox body of water Addi Akhor is a reservoir located in the Enderta district of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia. The earthen dam that holds the reservoir was built in 1998 by SAERT.[1]

Dam characteristics

  • Dam height: 18 metres
  • Dam crest length: 210 metres
  • Spillway width: 1.3 metres

Capacity

  • Original capacity: 510 777 m³
  • Dead storage: 6008 m³
  • Reservoir area: 8.19 ha

In 2002, the life expectancy of the reservoir (the duration before it is filled with sediment) was estimated at 30 years.[1]

Irrigation

  • Designed irrigated area: 30 ha
  • Actual irrigated area in 2002: 20 ha

Environment

The catchment of the reservoir is 2.75 km² large. The reservoir suffers from rapid siltation.[2] The lithology of the catchment is Antalo Limestone and Mekelle Dolerite.[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.[3]
