Dembiya (woreda)
Dembiya is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. It is named for the former province of Dembiya, which was located roughly in the same location. Part of the Semien Gondar Zone, Dembiya is bordered on the south by Lake Tana, on the southwest by Takusa, on the west by Chilga, on the north by Lay Armachiho, and on the east by Gondar Zuria. Towns in Dembiya include Aymiba, Chuahit, Gorgora and Koladiba.
Rivers within this woreda include the Lesser Angereb and Derma, which flow south into Lake Tana, and the Atbarah. A survey of the land in this woreda shows that 64% is arable or cultivable and another 25% under irrigation, 6% pasture, 4% forest or shrubland, and the remaining 1% is considered degraded or other.〔(Ethiopia-Sudan Power Systems Interconnection Project, ESIA Final Report ), p. 55 (Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation website) This was based on information provided by the woreda in 2005.〕 287 square kilometers adjacent to Lake Tana is subject to regular and extensive flooding.〔("Tana & Beles Integrated Water Resources Development: Project Appraisal Document (PAD), Vol.1" ), World Bank, 2 May 2008 (accessed 5 May 2009)〕
==Local History==
The location of the Battle of Gur Amba, where Ras Kassa (the later Emperor Tewodros II) defeated Dejazmach Goshu Zewde 27 November 1852, lies within the modern boundaries of this woreda.
The woreda of Dembiya was heavily affected by the flash floods in Ethiopia which started 6 September and receded by 26 September 2006. The heavy rain caused Lake Tana to overflow its banks, making thousands of people homeless. "Thousands of heads of cattle, whole silos of grain, and significant tracts of grazing and farmland have been washed away," according to IRIN.〔(ETHIOPIA:Finding shelter away from flooding ); (ETHIOPIA:Flood waters receding ); both accessed 17 October 2006 (IRIN)〕
