Dubai Municipality Completes AED277 Million Sewerage and Drainage Project in Nad Al Sheba 3

Dubai Municipality has completed a major infrastructure upgrade in Nad Al Sheba 3, delivering a new sewerage and rainwater drainage network at a cost of AED277 million.
The project is part of broader efforts to enhance the city's infrastructure and align with Dubai's long-term vision for sustainable urban development.
Spanning 340 hectares and covering around 300 land plots, the project includes a 24-kilometre sewerage network with pipelines ranging from 200 to 800 millimetres in diameter, along with 11 kilometres of household connections. The network is designed to improve public health, support environmental sustainability, and streamline future maintenance.
To strengthen rainwater management, the development also features a new pumping station with a capacity of 4,000 litres per second and a 31-kilometre gravity drainage pipeline network. This system is intended to reduce flood risks and ensure water flow efficiency during heavy rains.
Eng. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, said the initiative supports the emirate's strategic infrastructure programmes, including the AED30 billion 'Tasreef' drainage project and the AED80 billion sewerage system upgrade. He emphasized the role of advanced technologies in improving service delivery and quality of life.
The project contributes to Dubai's goal of connecting all areas to a fully integrated network, positioning the city as a global benchmark for smart, future-ready infrastructure.

UAE Employees Surpass European Counterparts in Cyber Readiness, Cohesity Study Shows

The UAE workforce has emerged as a regional leader in cybersecurity readiness, outperforming its European counterparts in a new international study conducted by data security firm Cohesity. The study, which assessed full-time employees in the UAE, UK, France, and Germany, revealed that 86% of UAE respondents feel confident in their ability to detect cyber threats—surpassing the UK (81%), Germany (80%), and France (62%). In addition, nearly 89% of UAE employees trust their organisations' capacity to prevent and recover from cyberattacks. These findings highlight the UAE's ongoing commitment to digital resilience and AI-driven cyber defence, aligning with its national cybersecurity vision. Government-backed efforts—including regulatory reforms, infrastructure upgrades, and advanced threat detection systems overseen by the UAE Cyber Security Council—have significantly strengthened the country's cyber posture. The research also pointed to strong employee engagement. Two-thirds of UAE workers said they would report suspicious activity, while over half would alert their IT departments directly—figures notably higher than those in the UK, Germany, and France. Experts attribute this proactive mindset to regular cybersecurity training, with 66% of UAE employees having received awareness programmes in the past year. Commenting on the results, Johnny Karam of Cohesity praised the UAE's leadership in the EMEA region, citing a 'strong national focus on AI and digital transformation. ' His colleague Mark Molyneux added that the UAE's model shows how prioritising employee awareness is key to tackling modern cyber threats. News Source: Emirates News Agency
