The Engineering and Construction Affairs Department at the Holy Alawi Shrine has launched its dedicated service program for the anniversary of the martyrdom of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his family).
This program includes supplying significant quantities of drinking water and raw water to meet the needs of pilgrims and Husseini Mawakib stationed throughout the city of Najaf.
Fazel Tabatabai, head of the Water Production Unit and a servant of the Holy Alawi Shrine, told the Shrine’s News Center:
“This unit produces more than 3 million liters of purified reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking water daily, as well as 6 million liters of raw water, and, if necessary, production capacity can be increased, so that the needs of pilgrims and the al-Hussaini Mawakib are continuously met throughout the days of this millions-strong pilgrimage.”
He added:
“This unit has allocated 14 locations for supplying water to tanker trucks in various areas around the sacred Alawi shrine. In addition, the water required by sanitation facilities is also supplied on a continuous basis.”
Referring to the unit’s storage capacity, he said:
“This unit also maintains strategic reserves with a capacity of more than 5 million liters of water, which are used as a precautionary reserve to address any emergency conditions.”
These measures are carried out as part of the Holy Alawi Shrine’s comprehensive service program, drawn up with the aim of providing the best possible services to the millions of pilgrims arriving at the sacred shrine of Amir al-Muminin Ali (peace be upon him).
