3/4/24, 11:00 AM Dubai Municipality undertakes a new agricultural beautification project in the Emirate at the crossroads of Al Meydan and Al Khail | …
This project includes state-of-the-art technologies leveraged by the Municipality to implement

sustainable irrigation systems and water drainage. These systems include fully automated irrigation

mechanisms, eliminating the need for human intervention.

Additionally, 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. Furthermore, a pumping station with a

capacity exceeding 280 cubic meters per hour has also been established, along with a tank with a
capacity of 1,000 cubic meters. As part of beautification efforts at the intersection, the Municipality has

also installed multi-color linear lighting systems.

H.E. Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, emphasized the significance of

agricultural beautification initiatives and highlighted the efforts to expand green spaces across Dubai.

These efforts reflect the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice
President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to position Dubai as the best city to live

in the world.

Al Hajri stated that increasing green spaces in Dubai is integral to the Municipality’s strategies aimed

at promoting environmental sustainability in the emirate. The goal is to establish a comprehensive
environmental impact that preserves natural elements and resources while improving their overall

quality. These efforts are expected to enhance Dubai’s attractiveness and aesthetic appeal while

ensuring the highest standards of living and luxury for its residents.

Sustainable irrigation

H.E. Al Hajri said: “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.”
