Addi Amharay is a reservoir located in the Inderta woreda of the Tigray Region in Ethiopia. The earthen dam that holds the reservoir was built in 1997 by SAERT.
The catchment of the reservoir is 4.92 km² large, with a perimeter of 9.62 km and a length of 3560 metres. The reservoir suffers from rapid siltation.[2] [3] The lithology of the catchment is Antalo Limestone and Agula shale.[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.

The Amhara could have settled in the area and the people (Tigrayans) Adi Amharay - County of Amhara. Tigray is older than Ethiopia itself according to sources.
