The Dh 21 million dam and three breakers being built in Safad and Thaib, in Al Qurayyah village, are expected to be complete next month. The project is expected to help collect more rain water, irrigate more farms and support underground water storage in the region.
The dam and three breakers are part of a project covering more than 22 dams which are being built in Fujairah and the East Coast. "We were racing to finish our job in the time given," said Mohammed Arjuwan, Chief Engineer and Director of the project.
The construction was ordered by the Private Department of President His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan to help trap rain and flood water from the mountainous areas of the East Coast and to improve the underground water system.
