Throughout the Holy Hajj, a well-flowing well from Zamzam, from Zamzam, drinking so far, drinking from the Zamzam.

So where does this water come from and why is it so deep?

Where is the Zamzam well?

Zamzamian water, Mecca’s Great Mosque (Mosque al-Haram), 21 meters (69 feet) from the Kaaba, comes from a well east.

Zamzam well, Pawaf’ın Tawaf’ın Tawaf’ın, the white marble turbine spat, which covers the Ka’bue, is under the area of ​​the text.

In 1962, King Saud commissioned the expansion of the Mataf area to better place the number of grown pilgrims. As part of this project, the opening of the Zamzam well was reduced to a basement of approximately 2.7 meters (9 feet) under the text.

In 2003, the inputs of basement were closed and the drinking springs were transferred to the sides of the text that allows more expansion.

Today, the pilgrims are distributed along the Grand Mosque in Zamzams and get Zamzamian water through fountains.

Why is Zamzam why is it important for Hajj and Umrah?

The Zamzamian water is deep in the origin of the origin of Mecca and Hadrat Ibrahim, Hajar (Hajar), and Hajar (Hajar) and his son Ismayil (Ismayil).

According to the Islamic tradition, Ibrahim Hajam Hagar and Baby Ishmael left Ismail as the command of God as an faith.

When their provisions are exhausted, Hagar Safa and Marwa ran back seven times between the two small hills and forth.

God responded to his faith and a miracle: baby, the baby began to flowing water near the legs of Ismail – this Zamzam was good.

This Spring saved his lives and caused a solution to Mecca with a population of about 2.2 million today.

During Hajj and Umrah, Mohammad, who praised Hajj Sa’i and the healing qualities, is looking for water seven times between the visit and the marva hills seven times.

What does Zamzam mean?

According to Islamic tradition, Zamzam Spring was miraculously when the baby went near the legs of Ismail, he tried to contain water in fear of fearing.

He says, “Zamzam”, often “stop!” Means. Or “Hold! Hold!” As the water tries to stop the water by collecting around the spring.

What is the source of Zamzam Aquifer?

Zamzamian water comes from a natural underground source under the great mosque in Mecca. Well, the surrounding Ibrahim Valley (Wadi Ibrahim) and the water from the nearby hills, the water is watered from a water layer that retains water.

Zamzam well is about 31 meters (101 feet) deep and first dug. Water enters the well in the upper section, the blank sand and gravel, as well as the cracks from the cracks in pale rock.

Today, the power pumps raises the water instead of old rope and bucket method. Well, it is now closed to the public, but there is water via springs and dispensers around the Great Mosque.

The wall of the Zamzam is considered to flow more than 4,000 years. The role of continuous water flow and Hajj and Umraj has been well documented for centuries.

According to a general authority to change the mosque, production and consumption of the Prophet and the Prophet with the season:

• In regular days:
  Water supply: At least 950,400 liters of daily (US 251,000 US gallons)
  Consumption: 700,000 liters of daily (185,000 US gallons of US)
• During peak seasons (Hajj and Ramadan):
  Water supply: Up to 1.6 million liters of daily (423,000 US gallons)
  Consumption: 2 million liters (528,000 US gallons) can reach due to the increase in pilgrims

According to the Saudi Visa Office, Mecca waits to meet 15 million Umrah pilgrims in 2025.

To manage this requirement, the water level, pH (hydrogen potential; liquid or liquid potential) is monitored in real time using digital sensors, which is a measure of temperature or transmission. Along the Wadi Ibrahim, additional monitoring wells help to assess how the whole water supply responds to the water and responds to the rain.

The more water in the Zamzam Research and Research Center (ZSRC) estimates how much water will be extracted and recommends a large mosque organization at sustainable pump levels. Every year, Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) results in a pump schedule with a peak demand during Ramadan and Dhul-Hijjah and the lowest in Muharram.

If the water level falls below a particular threshold, it is pumped, stable, long-term supply, to allow wells to recover wells.

How is Zamzam Tap Sudan different?

Zamzamian water is clear and odorless, but there is a different taste due to rich mineral content. A little alkaline, higher than ordinary drinking water, with a pH between 7.9 and 8.0.

A research conducted by King Saud University was not found in other wells and biological pollution or algae in Zamzami water that could affect taste and security.

Minerals in Zamzam water offer several health benefits:

• Fluoride: Prevents tooth decay, especially important in hot climates.
• Calcium and Magnesium: Available in a higher amount. Calcium is an ionic shape that makes it easier for the body.
• Sodium and potassium: Support moisturization, nervous function and muscle health.

In general, the total number of minerals for Zamzam is 835 mg per liter compared to Riyadh tap water to 350 mg per liter.

How is the Zamzam distributed?

The Saudi government prohibits the sale of Zamzam water for commercial purposes and strongly regulates the distribution to ensure that the pilgrims are given as a holy gift and not to be exploited for profit.

Pilgrims returning from Hajj or Umrah, bring watering water to a 5-liter glass to share with family and friends returning home. Since Zamzam water is considered a special gift, it usually does not include it in the usual baggage allowance, so pilgrims often follow special instructions while transporting themselves separately.
