Dubai has allocated a Dh3 billion budget to bolster the city's stormwater drainage system through a series of four new contracts. The Dubai Municipality announced Sunday that Phase 3 of the Tasreef Programme, which focuses on enhancing the emirate's drainage network, will see the construction and expansion of roughly 100 kilometres of main stormwater lines, each capable of handling up to 3 metres of water flow.
The projects will cover approximately 100 square kilometres of key economic, commercial, industrial, and tourism zones, including prominent areas like Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Al Safa, Al Manara, Al Quoz, Al Barsha, Al Wasl, Za'abeel, Al Badaa, Al Satwa, and Al Marmoom. The initiative aims to improve the network's capacity to handle heavy rainfall, enhance operational resilience, and support sustainable urban expansion in Dubai.
