Approval for the first phase of a significant rainwater and groundwater drainage project was declared in a recent Executive Council meeting of the Emirate of Sharjah, With a depth of 20 meters for the main drainage line, the project is expected to cost Dh400 million and span a considerable 4.9 km-long stretch. Under the guidance of Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Sharjah Ruler, this project is under progress.

Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Governor of Sharjah, also Chairman of the Executive Council, presided over a weekly council meeting where the announcement took place. Attendant also were Deputy Governor and Vice Chairman of the Executive Council Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi.

Especially in areas prone to floods, the rainwater and groundwater drainage project marks a major step toward enhancing Sharjah's infrastructure, The 4.9-kilometer-long drainage system is meant to reduce the hazards presented by excessive groundwater and heavy rain, which have historically damaged houses and interfered with daily living in many parts of the emirate. By tackling these problems early on, Sharjah hopes to improve its resilience against natural water-related problems and provide a more sustainable surroundings for its people.

Apart from sanctioning the drainage project, the Executive Council also adopted a fresh resolution on controlling real estate development initiatives, This resolution offers a thorough set of legal rules meant to handle all facets of real estate development, The inclusion of a bank guarantee account, meant to safeguard the interests of all those engaged in real estate transactions—including developers, buyers, and investors is a major component of this control.

The bank guarantee account is a security tool meant to guarantee open management of money and protection of stakeholders' investments all through the real estate projects. This is especially crucial in major projects involving several stakeholders when project success depends on financial control. Starting May 1, 2025, the new rules will let all stakeholders familiarize themselves with the legal obligations and modify their activities.

By means of these legislative frameworks, real estate developments are under control with an eye toward a dependable and robust real estate market for Sharjah, The Executive Council wants to promote even greater development and draw more investors to the real estate market of the emirate by guaranteeing openness and safeguarding of investments, It also fits the more general objectives of urban planning and economic development in Sharjah, thereby ensuring that next initiatives support the long-term vision of sustainable development and emirate growth.

Sharjah's dedication to improving the quality of life for its citizens is evident in both the infrastructure upgrades in water management and the control of real estate development, These projects are a part of a larger endeavor by the Sharjah administration to solve important areas of urban growth, infrastructural resilience, and legal governance so guaranteeing the emirate stays a stable and appealing environment for people, companies, and investors both.

Especially in areas immediately affecting the daily life of its people, the Sharjah Executive Council keeps acting strategically in line with the vision presented by its leadership, While the real estate solution aims to uphold the emirate's reputation as a safe and well-regulated market for property development, the drainage project in particular is a vital reaction to the problems presented by Sharjah's natural surroundings, Both steps point to Sharjah's proactive government and emphasis on long-term sustainability.
