Wadi and Dam

View from Mamshit looking west down into the Nahal Mamshit.  Note the rebuilt Nabatean/Roman/Byzantine dam in the center of the image and the green Tamarisk trees that are growing in the wadi/nahal.

This photo was taken in the middle of the dry season—in July.  This area of the country receives about 8 inches (20 cm.) of rain annually.
