Draft:Nahal Shechem

A flour mill powered from the Nahal Shechem's waterflow.

The Nahal Shechem (נחל שכם; Shechem Stream), known in Arabic as the Wadi Sha'ir upstream and the Wadi Burj downstream, is an intermittent stream in the West Bank and Israel. It originates north of Nablus, the largest city on its banks, in the gorge between Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, the site of the ancient Shechem, the stream's namesake. It then heads northwest to Anabta and flows through the town. Afterward, it heads west towards Tulkarm and passes through its northern periphery. The stream then heads northwest to Gan Yoshiya and turns west, where it drains into the Nahal Alexander shortly afterward.[1][2]
