The Vice Presidency for Projects and Engineering Studies, His Excellency Eng. Sultan bin Ati Al Qurashi inspected the functioning of the strategic water reservoir feeding the Grand Mosque and its facilities, and was accompanied by the Assistant Director General of Projects.
Al-Qurashi stated that
this reservoir is considered one of the most important strategic projects in
infrastructure services for the third Saudi expansion project of the Grand
Mosque and its facilities, which will be used during the holy month of Ramadan
1442 AH.
His Excellency indicated
that this strategic reservoir has a volume of 140,000 cubic meters, with a
diameter of 100 meters and its base and wall are made of iron and the roof is
made of aluminum.
It is considered a
strategic reservoir for the Haram only, and it will be linked to the old
concrete Malakan reservoir with a capacity of 80,000 cubic meters, and the
diameter of the pipelines from the reservoir to the Haram is 800 meters.
About 93% of the

to the mineral above the mountain and from the mineral reservoir to the Grand
Mosque and its surrounding facilities.
