Implementing 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 metres per hour and a tank with a
capacity of 1,000 cubic metres has also been established. As part of the beautification
efforts at the intersection, the municipality has also installed multi-coloured linear
lighting systems.

Dawoud Al Hajri, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, emphasised the significance of
the 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, Prime Minister 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.
