What New Category Will This Fit Into?

"What New Category Will This Fit Into?"

Transportation or Agriculture.

It doesn't 100% surprise me that there is no sewage system in place. Dubai has a tendency to not fully think out plans prior to starting them. One example that comes to mind is their plan to create islands, just for the heckuvit:

What's $14,000,000,000.00 to them?

I laughed when I first read about it.

Looks like that would fit into several sections, including OH CR4P!

I liked the suggestion of being able to tag threads to multiple sections. Each could show up once on the homepage but be listed in any relevant sections the poster chooses.

This option would probably be abused by spammers and scammers.

Shocking,, absolutely shocking......that you would not tell the whole story....

"During Dubai's economic boom in 2009 the city's rapid growth meant that it was stretching its limited sewage treatment infrastructure to its limits. Consequently, human waste from Dubai's 1.3 million inhabitants was collected daily from thousands of septic tanks across the city and driven by tankers to the city's only sewage treatment plant at Al-Awir. Because of the long queues and delays, some tanker drivers resorted to illegally dumping the effluent into storm drains or behind dunes in the desert resulting in much controversy. The result of sewage dumped into storm drains was that it flowed directly into sea of the Persian Gulf, near to the city's prime swimming beaches. Doctors warned that tourists using the beaches ran the risk of contracting serious illnesses like typhoid and hepatitis.^[4]

Dubai's municipality says that it is committed to trying to catch the culprits and has imposed fines of up to $25,000 as well as threatening to confiscate tankers if dumping persists. The municipality maintains that test results show samples of the water are "within the standard".^[5]

As of September 2009 these queues and illegal dumping are no longer reported to be a problem.^[6]"

Al Awir Plant

The sewage plant in Al Awir is one of the main areas of waste water treatment in Dubai. It has been significantly expanded in recent years. The first phase of the plant has a designed capacity of 260,000m³ per day but by December 2007 it was dealing with almost 500,000m³ per day. The second phase of the plant added 65,000m³ of capacity and was commissioned in January 2008. The third phase of the plant was under study in 2007 and adds an extra 80,000m³ capacity.^[2]

]Jebel Ali plant

The first two phases of the Jebel Ali plant were completed in April 2009 and it has begun operations, easing pressure on the Al Awir plant. The second phase was completed in October 2010. The odour treatment plant was also completed. The project cost over 1,500,000,000AED, and covers an area of 670 hectares. It has the capacity to process 300,000m³ of waste water per day. A sewage water pumping station and pumping lines are being created as a second project at a cost 580,000,000AED. A sewage pumping station and the pumping lines linking up to the main treatment plant at Jebel Ali are being built at a cost of 191,000,000AED.^[3]"

Your citations are apparently totally fictitious, since my friend's friend sent the e-mail on "Saturday, January 26, 2013 12:16 PM".

Maybe nobody told the Dubaians that these magnificeitn structures were in operation?

The page you linked has comments about the video from 2011.

OOPS. Maybe it was Larry the Cable Guy then.

I'll have to start verifying these things before posting as recent.

It sounded like him in the back seat.

Having to truck out the waste kind of takes away from having the world's tallest building.

I wonder if anybody in the tall building ever looked out the window at those trucks, and thought, "Wow, seeing those trucks all lined up like that, almost looks like a long pipe."

You just have to ask yourself, "What were they thinking"?

I wonder if they call it job creation?

lyn asks: "You just have to ask yourself, 'What were they thinking'?"

.

"They can hold it."

"People who can afford us don't poop. Ever."

"Hey, Abdul, waddayathink about labeling them trucks Dubai Catering (Satisfaction Guaranteed or Double Yesterday's Breakie Back)"

"People poop here? Why! Of all the nerve!"

"Dubai - Where the Affluent Meet the Effluent"

But more than likely,

" "

They did sound like some good ol' boys...Never-the-less some serious growing pains there....

I thought I heard Larry the cable guy in the beginning.

The next problem is how to get rid of the buckets full of poopdust.

<...The next problem is how to get rid of the buckets full of poopdust...>

Tectonic plate subduction?

Fertilizer, potting soil.

Food for thought.

That didn't come out right.

[scurries behind PlbMak's settee]

Why US and UN doesn't see crimes committed by rich people and rich countries as well as Us allies?.

How come people from Sri Lanka always make sweeping generalizations?

Only those jump the gun(USA) and those have official responsibility(UN) should intervene because they usually take one-sided view of everything to suppress,oppress,depress minorities, those without UN representation etc. Others do not intervene normally.

As is often the case, the question is its own answer.

Brings a whole to meaning to "sewer line"!

And Port-a-Poddy!

I swear I saw it on the internet it has to be TRUE.
