Sharjah Municipality Unveils Two New Projects to Enhance Green Spaces

Post by : Elena Malik

Sharjah: The Sharjah Municipality has unveiled two important projects designed to improve the supply of irrigation water for green spaces across the emirate. This initiative underscores the municipality’s commitment to developing efficient infrastructure projects and aligns with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.

During the inauguration of the projects, Obaid Saeed Al Tunaiji, the Director-General of Sharjah Municipality, highlighted the municipality’s proactive approach to establishing essential infrastructure, particularly the construction of treated water pumping stations. These pumping stations are crucial for delivering irrigation water to both existing and future cultivation areas as part of the municipality's annual agricultural plans.

Al Tunaiji stated that these infrastructure projects are part of a larger effort to create a sustainable irrigation source, ultimately enhancing the success of green spaces and agricultural initiatives throughout the year. He emphasized that treated water is vital for irrigation, necessitating infrastructure upgrades to ensure optimal water usage.

The successful execution of these projects was made possible through collaborative efforts involving various entities, including the General Directorate of the Amiri Guard, the General Command of Sharjah Police, the Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority, the Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority, the Sharjah National Oil Corporation, and the Planning and Survey Department.

Khalifa bin Hadda Al Suwaidi, Director of Technical Services at Sharjah City Municipality, remarked that the projects were completed efficiently within five months, adhering to high standards and at a lower cost than initially estimated.

The first project focused on expanding the capacity of the Al Qarain Station, which will increase its irrigation water pumping capacity from 30,000 cubic meters per day to 100,000 cubic meters per day. This upgrade is essential to meet the growing demands of developing urban areas and ensure an adequate water supply for critical projects.

The second project involved the construction of a new pumping station in the Al-Budaiya area, which has a daily capacity of 36,000 cubic meters, equating to approximately 9.5 million gallons of treated irrigation water. Additionally, the municipal technical team has extended a new pipeline from the Al-Budaiya station to the Al-Musnad area, covering a distance of 22.5 kilometers. This significant advancement enhances the provision of irrigation water within the broader infrastructure framework.

The new pumping station features a storage unit with a capacity of 2,000 cubic meters (or 520,000 gallons) and is equipped with high-efficiency pumps to maximize output.

Jaafar Ali Jaafar, Director of the Sanitation Department, reiterated the importance of these projects in improving the efficiency of the Al Qarain and Al-Badi’ irrigation water pumping stations, further supporting the municipality’s commitment to enhancing the emirate's green spaces
