Work starts on $32m plan to reduce Al Ain flash flooding risk

Abu Dhabi General Services Company, also known as Musanada, and the Al Ain Region Municipality have commenced work on the Al Ain Rainwater Streams project.

Valued at nearly AED119.3 million ($32.4 million), the project aims to reduce the risk of flash flooding in the 79.4km-long Al Ain, Al Sulaimi and Al Tawayya valleys in Al Ain city.

The project will help contain rainwater and streams and reduce the potential risk of flash floods, while keeping up with the continuous urban development, expanding the scope of services of the rainwater stream drainage network, in addition to investing in available water resources
