Dubai Municipality completes $75m sewerage and rainwater drainage network in Nad Al Sheba
Dubai Municipality has completed a AED277 million ($75.4 million) sewerage and rainwater drainage project in Nad Al Sheba 3, enhancing infrastructure for 300 plots and 340 hectares as part of its future-ready urban strategy. Dubai Municipality has announced the successful completion of a major sewerage and rainwater drainage development in Nad Al Sheba 3, delivered at a total cost of AED277m ($75.4m). The project is part of the authority's strategic infrastructure roadmap to enhance the city's resilience and support its transition into a global benchmark for smart, sustainable urban living. Covering a 340-hectare area and serving around 300 land plots, the new network boosts public health, climate readiness, and urban service efficiency. Dubai drainage and sewers The initiative is a key part of the AED30bn ($8.2bn) 'Tasreef' programme for rainwater drainage and the AED80bn ($21.8bn) sewerage system upgrade project — two of the largest infrastructure strategies in the region. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, said: 'This project is part of Dubai Municipality's strategic efforts to develop and deliver world-class infrastructure that keeps pace with Dubai's ambitions for global leadership and urban sustainability.

'Dubai Municipality remains committed to expediting the delivery of integrated development works for sewerage and rainwater collection systems, in line with the highest international standards. 'By applying advanced technologies and smart solutions, we aim to increase operational performance, ensure service continuity, and improve quality of life for Dubai's residents — reinforcing the emirate's status among the world's leading cities for advanced infrastructure.' Drainage project scope and features: Sewerage network: A 24km sewerage system with pipeline diameters ranging from 200mm to 800mm has been constructed, alongside 11 kilometres of household connections to link homes and residential units to the main network Rainwater drainage: A high-capacity pumping station with a discharge rate of 4,000 litres per second has been installed to manage stormwater flow efficiently. In addition, a 31km gravity-based pipeline network (250mm–1,500mm diameter) ensures optimal drainage during heavy rainfall and reduces flooding risks. The project underscores the Municipality's ongoing commitment to building advanced infrastructure that keeps pace with the emirate's long-term development vision.

Dubai completes Dh277 million flood-busting drainage network
Dubai Municipality on Wednesday announced the completion of a sewerage and rainwater drainage network at a total cost of Dh277 million. It is the first major step towards completing the Tasreef project – the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, who last year approved the Dh30 billion plan to improve the emirate's water drainage following record flooding in April. The new network in Nad Al Sheba 3 spans a total of 24km and adds 11km of household connections to Dubai's main sewerage system. An advanced pumping station has been installed, which can handle 4,000 litres of water per second. This is complemented by a 31km gravity-based drainage pipeline network, which will maintain system readiness during periods of heavy rainfall and mitigate flooding risks. The overall Tasreef project is set to be completed by 2033. How will the new drainage network help? 'This project is part of Dubai Municipality's strategic efforts to develop and deliver world-class infrastructure that keeps pace with Dubai's ambitions for global leadership and urban sustainability,' Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, director general of Dubai Municipality, said. 'Completing the Nad Al Sheba 3 project is a significant step towards connecting all areas of Dubai to a fully integrated sewerage and rainwater drainage network, ensuring the emirate's readiness to face future climate challenges for the next 100 years.' In addition to being part of the Tasreef project, the Nad Al Sheba 3 development is part of a planned Dh80 billion sewerage upgrade programme to help public health standards. The pumping station and drainage pipeline will improve rainwater management and ensure efficient water flow towards the main network. What is the Tasreef project? The strategic project is a continuation of drainage projects launched by Dubai in 2019, covering the Expo Dubai area, Al Maktoum International Airport City and Jebel Ali. The new projects will serve vital areas including Nad Al Hamar, and around Dubai International Airport, Garhoud, Rashidiya, Al Quoz, Zabeel, Al Wasl, Jumeirah and Al Badaa. The system aims to increase rainwater drainage capacity by 700 per cent, meet the emirate's needs for 100 years and ensure the city is ready to face 'climate-related challenges'. How floods make an impact In April 2024, the UAE recorded its heaviest rain in 75 years. Buildings and roads were flooded, while cars were abandoned on motorways and flights were cancelled, delayed or diverted as a result of the severe storm. While the floods' impact was immediate and wide-ranging, they continue to shape the Emirates – and not only in terms of government policy. The flooding caused an increase in greenery in the country's desert landscapes. Vegetation in some areas grew by up to 40 per cent compared to the same time in 2023, and this has had a lasting impact, research discovered. The study, co-written by Dr Diana Francis of Khalifa University and published in the npj Climate and Atmospheric Science journal, confirmed that human-driven climate change made last year's rainfall in the UAE far more likely in the future. Its analysis of the effect of the flooding on urban infrastructure suggests existing drainage systems and land use policies need to be enhanced to cope with such extreme weather. 'Our cities are not designed to absorb these volumes of water,' Dr Francis said. 'If we keep covering land with impermeable concrete, water has nowhere to go. We need to rethink urban planning with more green space and better drainage to reduce future damage.' It is hoped this is where the Tasreef project will come in as, once completed, Dubai's infrastructure will be able to handle more than 20 million cubic metres of water per day.

This network will enhance public health standards, maintain environmental sustainability, and facilitate more efficient future maintenance works. An additional 11 kilometres of household connections have been constructed to link citizens' homes, new residential units, and other properties directly to the main network. In terms of rainwater drainage, the Municipality has installed an advanced pumping station with a capacity of 4,000 litres per second, improving rainwater management and ensuring efficient water flow towards the main network. This is complemented by a 31-kilometre gravity-based drainage pipeline network, with diameters ranging from 250 to 1,500 millimetres, which will maintain system readiness during periods of heavy rainfall and mitigate potential flooding risks.
