1979 Major Zam Zam Cleaning Project

The 1979 Major Zam Zam Cleaning Project was one of the major cleaning operations in Zam Zam’s history. The major target was to remove the objects which were slowing the flow of Zam Zam water.

As a result, Dr. Yahya Koshak was the first person to enter the well and led the successful operation. Since then, the flow of Zam Zam well increased.
