mechanisms that eliminate the need for human intervention. Also, innovative wind-resistant
spraying techniques have been integrated, resulting in a water-saving of around 30 per cent.

The implementation of sustainable groundwater and rainwater drainage systems by the
municipality has proven effective, particularly during the recent rainfall. In addition to that, a
pumping station with a capacity of over 280 cubic metres per hour has also been established,
along with a tank with a capacity of 1,000 cubic metres. As part of beautification efforts at the
intersection, DM has also installed multi-colour linear lighting systems.

“Dubai Municipality prioritizes the development of agricultural beautification projects with a

primary goal of enhancing the ever-renewing vitality of Dubai according to integrated world-class
standards, in addition to fostering sustainability in Dubai by actively implementing innovative
irrigation technologies that rely on fully recycled water,” said Al Hajri.

In 2023, the Municipality successfully planted over 185,000 trees, fulfilling the complete
objectives of the Green Dubai initiative. This led to the addition of 234 hectares to the green area
in Dubai. It further underscores DM’s commitment to afforestation, demonstrating a dedication to
expanding vegetation and improving the per capita allocation of green spaces.
