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

Dubai Municipality Signs AED 150 Million Deal to Build Stormwater Tunnel in Dubai South
Dubai Municipality has signed a AED 150 million agreement with Dubai South to build a secondary stormwater tunnel, advancing the emirate's push for future-ready infrastructure and sustainable urban growth. The project, part of the wider AED 30 billion Tasreef initiative, will connect Dubai South's drainage network to Dubai Municipality's deep tunnel system via Expo Road. The new tunnel is designed to improve stormwater and surface runoff management, reduce flood risks, and protect key assets across the residential district. This strategic move supports the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to drive economic resilience and sustainable development. The stormwater system is expected to serve up to one million future residents in Dubai South. H.E. Eng. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality, described the initiative as a key step in delivering integrated infrastructure across the emirate. '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.

Dubai South to get Dhs150 million stormwater drainage system
Dubai is set to get a new Dhs150 million stormwater drainage project. As part of an agreement for Dubai South, the new system aims to improve stormwater and surface runoff in the event of heavy rain in that part of the city. In April 2024, the UAE was hit by the worst rainfall in its history. Since then, the national and local governments have ramped up projects to prevent the damage caused by storms. Part of the wider Tasreef flood prevention project, the latest announcement for Dubai South will see extra measures brought in to minimise flooding risks. Dubai South is undergoing significant development amid plans to eventually move all Dubai International Airport operations to Al Maktoum International Airport. Heavy rain and flooding have previously caused flights to be cancelled, diverted and delayed at DXB airport. Credit: @trtworld (X) The plans for the Dubai South stormwater drainage system aim to minimise flooding risks and safeguard roads, buildings and public assets. And, as a result, it will contribute to a safer, more sustainable environment for residents and visitors alike. A new secondary stormwater tunnel will be constructed, which will connect Dubai South's drainage network to Dubai Municipality's deep tunnel system via Expo Road. Tasreef is a long-term stormwater drainage development programme led by Dubai Municipality, with an estimated value of Dhs30 billion. Scheduled for completion by 2033, the project will extend coverage to all areas of the emirate, increasing the network's drainage capacity by 700 per cent to manage over 20 million cubic metres of water per day. Dubai Municipality has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Dubai South worth AED 150 million to develop an advanced stormwater drainage system in Dubai South's residential district. The initiative forms part of the broader Tasreef project and supports Dubai's commitment… — Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) May 22, 2025 Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality, explained that improving stormwater drainage in Dubai is a priority. He said: 'Developing infrastructure in the emirate of Dubai, particularly stormwater drainage, remains one of Dubai Municipality's strategic priorities. 'This project reflects our integrated approach to managing surface water systems and reinforces our commitment to linking all areas of the emirate through a unified network of deep tunnels. 'These efforts fall under the Tasreef programme, the largest and most efficient initiative of its kind in the region, which aims to develop stormwater drainage networks for the next 100 years.'
