ZamZam water level is around
10.6 feet below the surface.
It is the miracle of Allah that
when ZamZam was pumped continuously for more than 24 hours with a pumping rate
of 8,000 liters per second, water level dropped to almost 44 feet below the
surface, BUT WHEN THE PUMPING WAS
STOPPED, the level immediately elevated again to 13
feet after 11 minutes.
8,000 liters per second means that
8,000 x 60 = 480,000 liters per minute
480,000 liters per minutes means
that 480,000 x 60 = 28.8 Million liters per hour
And 28.8 Million liters per hour
means that 28,800,000 x 24 = 691.2 Million liters per day
So they pumped 690
Millions liters of ZamZam in 24 hours, but it was re-supplied in 11
minutes only.
There are 2 miracles here,
the first that ZamZam
was re-filled immediately, & the
second is that Allah Holds the extra-ordinarily
powerful Aquifer for not throwing extra ZamZam out of the well, otherwise
the world will SINK. It is the translation of the word ZamZam, which means Stop
!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! said by Hajirah Alaih As Salaam.
زمام Zimam is an Arabic word, it is the rope /
REIN attached to bridle or noseband & it is used / pulled
to stop the running animal.
The Saudi Geological Survey
has a "Zamzam Studies and Research Centre" which analyses the technical
properties of the well in detail. Water levels were monitored by hydrograph, which in
more recent times has changed to a digital monitoring system that tracks the
water level, electric conductivity, pH, Eh, and temperature.
All of this information is made continuously available via the Internet. Other
wells throughout the valley have also been established, some with digital
recorders, to monitor the response of the local aquifer system.[1]
The water level is 3.23 m
(10.6 ft) below the surface. A pumping test at 8,000 litres per second
(280 cu ft/s) for more than a 24 hour period showed a drop in water
level from 3.23 m (10.6 ft) below surface to 12.72 m
(41.7 ft) and then to 13.39 m (43.9 ft), after which the water
level stopped receding. When pumping stopped, the water level recovered to
3.9 m (13 ft) below surface only 11 minutes later. This data shows
that the aquifer feeding the well seems to recharge from rock fractures in
neighbouring mountains around Mecca.[citation

Zamzam water has no colour or smell,
but it has a distinct taste, and its pH is 7.9–8.0, indicating that it is
alkaline to some extent and is similar to seawater.
