Overcoming Subterranean Water Challenges
The Problem:
In early 2024, Dubai was hit by severe urban flooding caused by unprecedented rainfall, which overwhelmed the city’s drainage infrastructure. This led to widespread water accumulation across highways, underpasses, and residential areas, severely disrupting transportation, essential services, and daily activities. The rapid scale and intensity of the flooding posed significant challenges to emergency response teams, necessitating immediate and effective water evacuation to mitigate further damage.
Impact:
The flooding caused extensive traffic disruptions, halted public transportation, and posed serious health and safety risks due to prolonged water stagnation. Infrastructure, including roads and public utilities, was at risk of long-term damage. The economic impact was significant, with financial losses incurred from business closures, transportation shutdowns, and emergency repairs, along with heightened environmental and public health concerns.
