Rats, blockage due to trash and sand and then the municipalities will have to work even harder to keep them open during or just before the rainy season.<BR/><BR/>Actually it does make sense but only until it does not rain but when it rains and one has to drive in Sharjah especially one really wants to have a proper drainage system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
