It includes the construction of two sets of deep tunnels terminating at two terminal pump stations located at sewerage treatment plants (STPs) in Warsan and Jebel Ali. In Hatta, a conventional sewage and drainage collection system and STPs will be built.
The scheme also includes recycled water distribution systems connected to the STPs.
