Regional ministries and municipalities to discuss strategies in masterplanning robust stormwater drainage networks

Abu Dhabi Municipality, Dubai Municipality, Al Ain Municipality, Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning Qatar to present on stormwater management.

Stormwater management has become crucial in the Middle East due to rapidly growing cities, lack of adequate stormwater drainage networks and the increase in rainfall in the past few years.

ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, October 1, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Governments and municipalities particularly in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been actively planning and budgeting to develop city-wide stormwater networks in order to minimise water flooding caused by increasing rainfall.

The stormwater market in the region is set for a resurgence following the rapid urban expansion seen in most GCC countries, which warrants establishing stormwater networks as part of the development plans.

The GCC countries are also taking requisite steps to overcome known challenges of storm water flooding witnessed frequently in Saudi Arabia and tackle the raising ground water levels in Abu Dhabi. There is a requirement for innovative technologies and methods that will pan out into successful long-term solutions, and the need to design reliable stormwater networks.

Taking place from 19-22 October 2014 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre (ADNEC) Abu Dhabi, UAE, the Stormwater Management Summit will be attended by key stakeholders from Abu Dhabi Municipality, Dubai Municipality, Al Ain Municipality, Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning Qatar, Environmental Agency Abu Dhabi, Department of Transport Abu Dhabi, MWH Global, AECOM and many more who will address challenges relating to planning, construction and maintenance of stormwater drainage networks in the Middle East.
