Over the centuries, the bed of the Amud creek has been a source of income for the inhabitants of Safed and its environs. The abundance of water made it possible to build water mills along the stream bed and grind flour. The system of building such mills was elementarily simple: in the upstream of the water, the stream was diverted into an aqueduct that stretched along the slope. The bed of the stream becomes deeper to the lower stream and the elevation difference between the aqueduct and the natural channel allowed to discharge water and use its power and power to rotate the millstones of the millstones. Such buildings will be visible along the left (closest to Safed) shore. In the upper Galilee, the bed of the Amud creek was the recognized price of the mill business, and in the Lower Galilee the bed of the Tsalmon creek. In addition to the mills, the stream bed abounded with mulberry trees and silkworm breeding allowed Safed in the 16-17 centuries. to win world fame in silk production. The presence of water and a constant flow made it possible to develop the silk dyeing industry and concentrate the entire production process in one place. Acre - the port city rebuilt by Dar el Omar in the 17th century was the main sea gate of the Safed silk industry. The fertile, well-irrigated lands on the slopes of the brook contributed to the rapid development of agriculture, whose products were supplied to the markets of Tsfta, Akko and Tiberias. In the second half of the 19th century, the period of the industrial revolution, the economy of the region began to decline, and with the beginning of the British rule, the basis of the industry of the region changed, and henceforth the stream’s water was used for the needs of the developing city and surrounding areas. Silk was forgotten, agriculture lost industrial volumes and Amud Creek became, over time, a reserve. Translated with Google Translate
