The governor expressed satisfaction with the tremendous efforts exerted by the Works Ministry to put in place preventive measures to avoid water floods in the Al-Lawzi Lake and its adjacent areas by installing high-capacity pumps and connecting them to rainwater drainage networks to suction the water and divert it to the nearby marine areas or the emporary lake that was created to enhance the absorptive capacity of Al-Lawzi Lake and the expansion of rainwater channels and drains.
These measures are in line with the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to develop services and provide the best of them to citizens and residents, he said.
