Saudi Arabia Commissions Zamzam Water Project

Saudi Arabia has commissioned a SAR700m ($186m) water project in the city of Makkah to maintain the purity of Zamzam water.

The project, located in the district of Kuday, will purify five million litres of Zamzam water every day through its two main purification lines.

Storage tanks have also been built to store ten million litres of water, from which water will be pumped to the Grand Mosque through four stainless steel pipes, each with a diameter of 200mm.

Another two million litres of water will be pumped to a nearby factory to package the water and distribute it.
