“Within the framework of the planned service for this occasion, all servants of this unit have been put on standby, and the implementation of a comprehensive plan to supply healthy drinking water, as well as water for the pilgrims’ service and personal needs, has been placed on the agenda on a 24-hour basis.”
Referring to the water production capacity of the unit, he added:

According to him, this volume of water is produced and made available to various departments through an integrated system that is active at all hours of the day.
Al-Tabatabaei also announced support measures for serving the processions (Mawkibs) and said:
“Technical teams have prepared special stations for filling water tankers, so that the water needs of the Mawkibs stationed in the old city of Najaf Al-Ashraf can be met. This action has been carried out in cooperation with the transportation department.”
