Dubai South to get AED 150 million stormwater drainage upgrade
Dubai is taking major steps to boost its stormwater infrastructure. Dubai Municipality has signed a strategic AED 150 million agreement with Dubai South to build an advanced drainage system in the area's residential district. Part of the broader Tasreef project, the initiative includes a new secondary stormwater tunnel that will connect Dubai South's drainage network to the city's deep tunnel system via Expo Road. The upgrade is designed to reduce flood risk, protect public infrastructure and improve urban resilience. The project supports Dubai's long-term vision for smart, sustainable development and aligns with the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. Tasreef, led by Dubai Municipality, is a AED 30 billion programme aiming to expand stormwater coverage across the emirate by 2033. Once complete, the system will handle over 20 million cubic metres of water a day and increase drainage capacity by 700 per cent. Its previous phases have improved stormwater infrastructure in areas like Al Maktoum City, Expo City, and the Airport District. — Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) May 22, 2025

'This project reflects our commitment to a unified stormwater system that meets Dubai's needs for the next 100 years,' he said. The Tasreef programme, set for completion by 2033, is the largest of its kind in the region. Once operational, it will boost the emirate's stormwater drainage capacity by 700 per cent and manage over 20 million cubic metres of water daily. H.E. Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai South, said the project would strengthen the district's readiness to handle future growth. 'This partnership supports our vision of transforming Dubai South into a fully integrated, sustainable urban hub,' he noted. By aligning infrastructure with long-term development goals, the new stormwater tunnel marks another milestone in Dubai's effort to become a global leader in urban planning and environmental resilience.
