Wadi al-Far'a (Arabic: وادي الفارعه) or Tirzah Stream (Hebrew: נַחַל תִּרְצָה, romanized: Nahal Tirzah) is a stream in the northern West Bank that empties into the Jordan River south of Damia Bridge. It is the largest stream in the West Bank.[1] Wadi al-Far'a is located in the rugged area of the West Bank and cuts east through the Jordan Valley, passing through the Palestinian village of Wadi al-Far'a. The Tirzah Reservoir is used to collect the floodwater of Wadi al-Far'a before it flows into the Jordan River.[2]
