Dubai is set to overhaul its rainwater drainage system as part of a new
Dhs30bn multi-year project dubbed ‘Tasreef’.
The move comes after UAE experienced its heaviest rainfall in 75 years in
April, leading to widespread flooding, damage to infrastructure and record
insurance claims.
“Tasreef” is an Arabic word that generally means “drainage”.
