The Well of Zamzam is located within the Masjid al Haram in Mecca,
Saudi Arabia, 20 meters east of the Kaaba, the holiest place in Islam.
According to Islamic tradition it was a miraculously- generated source
of water, which began thousands of years ago when Ibraham's infant son
was thirsty and kept crying for water and was kicking at the ground when
water gushed out.
The water level is 3.23 metres (about 10.59 ft) below the surface. This small pond provides water to millions of people through heavy motors pulling 8000 litres/second for more than a 24 hour period showed a drop in water level from 3.23 metres below surface to 12.72 metres and then to 13.39 metres, after which the water level stopped receding. When pumping stopped, the water level recovered to 3.9 metres below surface only 11 minutes later.
