It rises near Daqwa, north of the city of Gondar in the Amhara Region, flowing west to join the Atbarah River. The historic district of Armachiho is located along its course. The Angereb dam, commissioned in 1997, was intended to address the town's potable water supply problem for 25 years. The Angereb reservoir and two boreholes are the main sources of water for the town, with a combined average production capacity of 8,298 m3/day.
