Al-sabil water construction is UN know to a big sect of people who live there especially the new generation, people and responsible don’t care about this source. Many of these sabils are destroyed or closed, and other sabils are unhealthy or unreconstructed well. Finally, I talk about the importance of this water source and people renewal need for it. The researcher recommends 1-to rebuild the destroyed sabiles and open the closed ones 2- people to keep such important constructions 3- modernization or improvement.
