Following the deluge of rain last week, which saw roads and homes flood, the UAE has set about putting infrastructure in place to ensure the country is better equipped to deal with rainy seasons.<\/p>\n
Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, visited the Shoka Dam in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah to assess readiness for the future.<\/p>\n
Putting plans in place, the minister ordered an immediate and thorough study of the country’s dams and their need for development and expansion. He said the study should ‘compare present dam areas to the annual quantity of rainfalls, with the goal of absorbing the rainwater throughout their seasons on a yearly basis and transforming the difficulties generated by rainfall into true development prospects.’<\/p>\n
