Gereb Shegal 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]
The catchment of the reservoir is 8.67 km² large, with a perimeter of 12.12 km and a length of 4320 metres. The reservoir suffers from rapid siltation.[2][3] The lithology of the catchment is Mekelle Dolerite and Antalo Limestone.[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]
