The American space research agency ‘NASA’ has released aerial photographs of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other cities and areas of the United Arab Emirates during the recent rains. Several areas can be seen submerged in water in these pictures.
Nasa says the slow-moving storm engulfed all the states of the UAE and some cities received a year’s worth of rain in a matter of hours.
In a statement, NASA said that many areas were under water when the Landsat 9 satellite passed over the region on April 19. Apart from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Jebel Ali area can also be seen in the pictures.
Water is shown in blue in aerial photographs. In these pictures, the industrial area of Jabal Ali can also be seen, which is located in the south of Bandar Gah. NASA’s Landsat 9 satellite is responsible for monitoring land resources around the world for more comprehensive planning for human development.
