Zamzam Water

One of the miracles that can not be denied from the Zamzam well is the water that never dries. Since the days of Prophet Abraham AS, until now this water disumber water, still abundant, even though millions of people have made use of that water. Apart from abundant, Zamzam water's taste is different from other regions. It feels fresher than the water from any country freshes. The most amazing though stored for years Zamzam water is not going to mossy, so at every Hajj season, pilgrims make a lot of Zamzam water as a by-by who must be brought home.
History of Zamzam Water.
Various saheeh hadith states, that the Zamzam well was originated from a single event experienced by Siti Hajar, wife of Prophet Ibrahim As and his son who is still nursing, Ismail As. Once said that Siti Hajar and his son, Ismail left her husband, Ibrahim As in order to fulfill God's command at the time, certainly with enough stock to supply the next few days. A moment of dates and water supplies are left out, Prophet Ismail who was still crying toddler constantly thirsty. Siti Hajar who do not bear to see her son in such circumstances, become panicked and ran to the top of the hills Safa and Marwa. In such conditions, the angel Gabriel, sent from God Almighty, see Siti Hajar. Gabriel and his feet paw the ground, so memancarlah called Zamzam water. In terms of the primacy of Zamzam water, some scholars have put together various Fadillah. They mention the Zamzam water with different nicknames. For example "Ma'ul Jannah (heaven water) because the full blessings and benefits. Dessert heart, because the angel Gabriel Prophet wash heart dg Zamzam water. Baraka water, because the Prophet happy to drink it. Water Healer because it is believed to cure liver disease or physical illness.
In terms of geological, source of this Zamzam water, dig wells into categories, with a depth of about 30.5 meters, to a depth, 13.5 meters from the ground. The well is a layer of alluvial wadi Ibrahim. This layer is estimated from the deposition of sand that initially there is elsewhere. Under the wadi alluvium layer of Abraham, there is a half-meter layer of soil that became the main place out water-disumur Zamzam water. Then dikedalaman 17 meters, wells uini penetrate hard rock layer, the layer of frozen diorite. This type of frozen Bakuan (diorite) rather rare in Indonesia or Java, but very much arab dijazirah encountered. At the top there are cracks which also emit water very much. There used to be a suspected fracture is towards the red sea. But there is no geological report which shows that. Later known, the fracture was there that extends towards the southeast corner of the Kaaba Stone Black dg 75 cm long with a height of 30 cm, also several small fractures towards the couch and Marwa.
From the results of pumping test, the Zamzam well which has a diameter of up to 2.66 meters 1:46, capable of removing the water as much as 11 to 18.5 liters per second. Every minute, a water-spent can reach 660 liters per minute or 40,000 liters per hour.
In these tests, geologists do Zamzam water pumping about 8,000 liters of seconds for more than 24 hours. From the pumping of that size, the well water level was down from a depth of 12.72 meters to 13.39 meters from the ground. But water levels stopped declining, even the water back up kekedalaman originally stopped after 11 minutes of pumping. From these events can be inferred that the Zamzam water seemed would never dry.
So far, many policies that have been taken by the government of Saudi Arabia to maintain the Zamzam well. One of them form a special body Zamzam water management in 1415 H (1994).
Makkah residents for drinking, water is taken from the fountain of Zamzam, but for purposes of bathing, water taken from the distillation of sea water. while to serve the pilgrims, the government of Saudi Arabia has built Zamzam water storage tanks with a capacity of 15,000 cubic meters are concatenated with another tank on top of the Grand Mosque.
