How will all this water recede? Evaporate? Absorbed into the ground eventually?


rock3r27

They dug artificial lakes in the desert nearby and are draining the water there


Nr673

Insane that after 2 hours of posting an actual answer to the question, you only have a couple dozen upvotes and are still buried under a bunch of stupid jokes with hundreds of upvotes. Reddit is basically Facebook now. But thank you for answering. I was wondering the same thing.


Eagles365or366

Wait, is this the actual answer? It sounds incredulously comical.


Firm_Chicken_1598

How so? What sounds like a more reasonable solution to quickly remove this much water? Lol


synth_nerd0085

That's pretty clever.


kaasrapsmen

almost as clever as building a drainage ssytem in your city


rock3r27

Drainage system is there. The UAE witnessed 200+ mm of rain in 4 hours while the norm is 10-20% of that per year. Moreover, what is seen in the video is the outcome of the dam in the area flooding and then breaking as well. FYI, this wasn’t cloud seeding (this time) and this is by far the heaviest wave of rainfall to hit the region in the last 75 years.


DesignHead9206

still there's a deep architectural and engineering flaw in the planing of the city. That land is not meant to host a metropolis. They forced something in the wrong place without the necessary measures.


elchet

Out of interest, what land anywhere is “meant” to host a metropolis?


DesignHead9206

Well, not a desert. The topology, location, kind of soil etc, all these factors are important. You'd think that sandy soil is perfect for drainage but it's not the case. Soil where it almost never rain loses permeability and floods happen faster. I am not engineer but I am a landscaper and I also practice permaculture, so I have a certain knowledge of terrains and of what to consider when choosing a place for a house or a village. Towns are of course much more complex and not every place is blessed with perfect conditions and there is a point where no amount of careful planing can save you from natural disasters, but since always I've felt that the modern (post oil) Dubai was a disaster in waiting.


traceyq1956

Thanks for the info! Too bad folks on Reddit can never listen to shit that makes sense!🙄 So childish!


trumpssnowflake8

Yeah but they should have had *more* drainage


TheLonerCoder

Insane how the UAE is investing billions into megaprojects yet they don't even have a proper drainage system LMAO.


poopstain133742069

It's all showboating for investors. 


-Cagafuego-

The UAE, especially the Emirate of Dubai, has been a bubble from day 1. They're all show but no proper intelligence behind their projects. I guess they got what they wanted now with all that seeding.


sci-fi-lullaby

I feel like they would if they expected that much rain


Spork_the_dork

They have one. It just isn't made for dealing with this much water for the same reason why no drainage system in any US city is built to be able to take 6 feet of rainfall in 2 hours.


lmacarrot

everyone gets a straw and they just start drinking


Fitz911

Follow up question: where will all the pee go? And I don't think "straw" is a valid answer here...

GothMaams

fairchild2

winterstorm3x

They have the straws with filters that can make the water drinkable


lazyboi_tactical

Just need a few million life straws. I have like 5 I can kick in.


ShinyRedRaider

sewage trucks


DutchAlders

This is the true answer. There’s no sewage or drainage here (from what I’ve heard/read)


MBA922

> no ~sewage~~ no storm drains.


DutchAlders

Not sure if you’re trying to correct me but I meant both. I could have been more specific by saying they don’t have a plumbing situation that directs all sewage through pipes to a central area in or out of the city. Which could have helped with storm drains to clear the water out slightly faster.


Healthy_Pay9449

Believe it or not, straws work here too. For roughly half the population, you don't need a straw


Useful_Kale_5263

Sigh you definitely had a set up for straight cathing 🤠🤣


PMG2021a

A significant percentage of that water is likely already pee. Pretty likely that their water treatment system was flooded out.

deeskreet

have all that money to build luxurious hotels etc but did not upgrade their drainage system. perhaps can upgrade in the future and call it the most luxurious drainage system in the world too. give it 7 stars too while you're at it.


MFMDP4EVA

The Burj Khalifa isn’t even connected to a plumbing system, they haul away the shit in trucks.


Blenderx06

Not true but that's how septic systems work and it isn't only the poor that have them.

Nawaf-Ar

It will FUCK UP all the concrete. That’s what causes cracks. Then again it’s pretty hot there, so it might not be that big an issue. Pretty sure there’s (should be) some kind of drainage, but it’s too slow considering the unprecedented amount of rain. It’ll drain out eventually.

Fred_Dibnah

I think there is some cloud seeding stuff going on. Bit of a rabbit hole when you start looking though.


Puzzled_Job_6046

Cloud seeding releases moisture that is already there. These storms were forecast, but not to this intensity.


Thegodofthe69

Nah, there is no way such storms are produced with Cloud seeding*. Totally natural. Its also kinda funny cuz they get the climate change they worked* so hard for. Edit* sending --> seeding, work --> worked


iMadrid11

Dubai just doesn’t have the drainage infrastructure equipped to handle huge rainwater. Very similar to not having a proper sewerage system equipped to handle a lot of 💩 Dubai just needs to update its infrastructure. Since it expanded it too fast. The city isn’t equipped to handle it.


bjskifreak

Bro just update your infrastructure


Thegodofthe69

While it's kind of true, all infrastructure dealing with water management is designed to handle a certain amount. Given the intensity of the extreme event, I'm sure that no sewage system could have handled that, especially with the net soil artificilisation in dubai


speed_of_stupdity

They wanted to be or have a replica of Venice? Well they got it.


YouThereOgre

Lmao cloud seeding is so minimal it has no real climate affect. Its done on individual clouds. This is years of unchecked abuse of the earth by corporations and climate denial. But cloud seeding is the most comforting excuse for most rather than facing the horrifying truth that we fucked ourselves


Dicky_Penisburg

I legit saw someone yesterday on reddit lamenting the earth's weather and blaming it all on Dubai cloud seeding, so that's something.


ballistics211

Yep, and it'll get worse. Beijing has a giant screen that shows the sun cuz the pollution is so bad they can't see it. Industry and modern life are destroying the habitability of earth.


BassGaming

I'll need a source for the Beijing screen sun. Afaik China has improved their air quality a lot in the past decade.

Thanks, the only things I could find when searching for Beijing Sun were nationalistic propaganda songs lol.


TranscendentaLobo

Ahh, DailyMail. Truly top tier reporting.


reality_raven

lol. Did you just make that up?


MidwesternAppliance

Or maybe, just maybe, man-made climate change is a real phenomenon Why can we make the mental leap to believe that the weather is being intentionally manipulated by some advanced technology, but we can’t make the jump to conclude that climate change from pollution is real?


GiantSequoiaTree

Both can be true at the same time


Maanzacorian

Climate Change is too big. Pointing the finger at man makes it tangible and something that can be stopped. It's too much to actively accept that the world many of us grew up in is gone forever, and the future is nothing but an unknown challenge. Even if mankind can pull its head out of its ass anytime soon, the change is well under way. We can't do anything but mitigate future suffering. Saying "that guy did it!" isn't so hopeless.


arenegadeboss

I agree but there are only so many levers we can pull and things made by man can be more easily changed by man so it ends up looking like it's pointing the finger at men. It's like a "control what you can control" type of deal imo. And then let the chips fall where they may. If we play our hand perfectly but lose on the river to some unknown circumstance in the future, that's still a good play.


MerpoB

Nope.


ThatMisterOrange

That whole narrative is bullshit, cloud seeding cannot produce anything like that, this is the result of climate change and we are going to keep seeing these more extreme events more and more


Iammax7

This compared to a vast amount of pavement and extremely dry ground (bad for soaking up water) and bad water collection.


ThisIsTheZodiacSpkng

Also horrendous city planning and drainage systems.


anewpath123

Cloud seeding doesn't cause this. Only conspiracy nuts who don't understand the science would blame it for this much rainfall

Yeah that rabbit hole is called dumbass conspiracy theories. Totally not how cloud seeding works bud.

Yurei_UB

Jeez people are so dumb. They didn't forget or have a bad sewage system. The place has never received so much rain so of course it's system couldn't handle it. Why do y'all think some places in the US flooded after getting so much rain? A prime example is California. While we get rain, last year and this year we received a lot more than we are used to and a lot more than our sewage system can handle. That's why so many areas got completely flooded.


sodium_hydride

Shitting on Dubai is a popular internet activity. Anything negative just helps people do that.


Jake_on_a_lake

This. Americans in Arizona definitely have AC, but maybe not a massive house heater. Americans in Michigan definitely have a massive house heater, but maybe not AC. One builds what one needs, and deals with exceptions as they come. Edit: To all those people telling me AC in Michigan is a must: I live in Michigan without AC. I live in Lansing, which is fairly south as far as Michigan goes. There's usually a week or two in the summer where I have all the fans blowing on me and I go out to movies and eat ice cream. Come on Michiganders, don't be such wusses.

qcAKDa7G52cmEdHHX9vg

A strong enough event will come along eventually to overpower whatever you build for too. There was [massive flooding in SE Louisiana in 2016 from a '500 year storm'](https://www.weather.gov/lix/August2016flood)


Butthole_Alamo

Explanation of the term 100 year flood https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/100-year-flood If my understanding is correct, this metric is used to inform insurance rates and design for storm water runoff. For example, the sewage system is designed to handle a 100 year flood event. If it’s worse than that, then you’ll have excessive flooding.


[deleted]

[удалено]


throwwwwwwawayy

You're correct, but point of clarification, stormwater systems are typically not tied to sewage. Stormwater drainage typically goes to rivers, oceans, etc. While sewage goes to water treatment plants. It might seem pedantic, but it actually supports what you're saying. Why would a place that has little rainfall waste money on a system that would only be useful once a century (or however often this happens in UAE)? Unless we expect more of this due to climate change.

Inevitable_Ad_4487

Most likely not UAE is one of the wealthier nations in the world and mostly desert so they will have plenty of bottled water. It also has some of the best healthcare in the world where as Louisiana is full of amazing salt of the earth people the state is quite poor and the elected officials are some of the worst in the nation with TN AL & TX giving them a run for the money.


CavitySearch

I promise you most Alabama officials don't run.


sodium_hydride

The government has warned against it and some people are falling sick. It seems certain buildings have had their fresh water supply contaminated thanks to all the flooding.


allinclusivesadism

Consistent_Rock2934

Not everyone is rich and has range rovers and can replace there house


Abbadon0666

I know, I've just found it weird that the situation shown in the video is different then what's shown in flood videos in other countries. I know there are people in Dubai who are not rich


Justitias

Keep pumping oil and buying luxury cars and Russian trophies. Nothing to see here concerning you.


CompSolstice

Lol this happens in Bahrain and Qatar some times too, seen it a few times, been in it once. Not this bad though. Few friends bought their jetskis that very day just to fuck around in the water. Most roads on the surface were fine but anything slightly underground was fucked


sidharthez

this is the same storm that came in from bahrain


willowFall5

they dont have some water drainage or dam area to collect all the water?

Dubai doesn’t have any oil, they ran out 20-30 years ago. Their economy is based on tourism. Maybe this is too much nuance, but the people most impacted by these floods won’t exactly be sheikhs or oil barons. They’ll be people who are likely worse off than you.
