Godew
Godew is a reservoir located in the Inderta ''woreda'' of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia. The earthen dam that holds the reservoir was built in 1990 by the Tigray Bureau of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Environment The catchment of the reservoir is 4 km2 large, with a perimeter of 10.45 km (of which 326 metres is occupied by the dam) and a length of 3260 metres. The reservoir suffers from rapid siltation. The lithology of the catchment is Mekelle Dolerite and Agula Shale. 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 Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is a hydrologic process, where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater. Recharge is the primary method through which water enters an aquifer. This process usually occurs in .... References {{reflist Reservoirs in Ethiopia 1990 establishments in Ethiopia T ...
