The heavy rains that lashed the UAE on January 3 helped the country store over 97 million gallons of rainwater in its dams. All the emirates saw heavy rains on the day, particularly the northern region of Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) and the inclined areas of Al Tawyeen, Naheela, Al Beeah, Qada'a, Ghalila and Shaam.
Mariam Mohammed Saeed Hareb, assistant undersecretary of water resources and nature conservation affairs at the Ministry of Environment and Water, led a group of dam management consultants and engineers to inspect the dams.
She pointed out that the conserved amount of water across six dams in RAK reached around 425,000 cubic metres. In the eastern region in Sakamkam Valley in Fujairah, a total of 15,000 cubic metres (3.3 million gallons) water was collected.
