Municipal emergency teams across Bahrain have dealt with 1,290 reports of rainwater pooling and removed 6,411 tanker loads of accumulated water following the recent wave of thunder storms and torrential showers that swept the kingdom this month.
The intensive response was carried out by the Capital Trustees Authority and the three governorate municipalities – Muharraq Municipality, Northern Municipality, and Southern Municipality – between March 4 and 26, as teams worked around the clock to clear soggy depths of despair from internal roads and residential neighbourhoods .
