Sharjah Public Works Department Completes 70% of Drainage Line Project to Address Water Pooling

The Sharjah Public Works Department (SPWD) has completed 70% of a drainage line project aimed at providing a sustainable solution to water pooling and improving drainage infrastructure across the emirate.

The project forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Sharjah’s infrastructure and develop long-term solutions to manage accumulated water, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall.

Sustainable solution to water accumulation

The drainage line is being developed to improve the collection and movement of excess water, helping reduce the impact of water pooling in affected areas.

With 70% of the work now completed, the project is moving closer to full implementation and is expected to enhance the efficiency and reliability of Sharjah’s drainage network.

The initiative reflects the department’s focus on adopting sustainable infrastructure solutions that can support the emirate’s continued urban development while improving public safety and the quality of life for residents.

Strengthening Sharjah’s drainage infrastructure

Effective stormwater management is increasingly important as urban areas expand and infrastructure requirements grow.

The project is part of Sharjah’s wider efforts to upgrade essential infrastructure and ensure that drainage systems are better equipped to handle water accumulation.

Once completed, the drainage line is expected to provide a more efficient long-term solution for managing excess water and reducing the recurrence of water pooling in targeted areas.

The Sharjah Public Works Department continues to implement infrastructure projects designed to support sustainable development, improve the resilience of public facilities and enhance services for communities across the emirate.
