Lake Giba is a reservoir under construction at the border of the Inderta; Kilte Awula'ilo and Dogu’a Tembien woredas of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia.[1] As of 2020,[update] the earthen dam that holds the reservoir is under construction. It will collect the water from the catchments of Sulluh (969 km2), Genfel (733 km2), and Agula'i (692 km2) rivers.[2]
