My Friend, yes, its a nice feeling when it rains, but its definitly not once in a lifetime thing that u stop planning..... even if it rains 2-3 times a year but create a drainage problem, it should be rectified.
its been 3 days ago it had rainned, and still you see lots of places with flood (and believe me, its filthy water)....
Pumping out the water is not a solution for an advanced country like Qatar.....
A proper drainage system should be really looked into, taking into account a possibility of a non-stop heavy rains in the coming years.
For people who just travels in their SUVs, I know it wont make sense.... but it does for sedan owners and for ppl who commutes in these pocket areas.....
