dubaiflo · October 17th, 2007, 08:04 PM

There is not much of a difference.. aside.. they will redesign it anway. number 2 is the current one though.

BTW, the Meydan City will be connected to the Business Bay via this canal. You can see it on one of the pictures....

dubaiflo · October 18th, 2007, 06:49 AM

actually meydan is quite far away, so it will not be this canal.. but it might be another creek extension, indeed.

Julito-dubai · October 18th, 2007, 10:13 AM

yes it is a new creek extension

Krazy · October 18th, 2007, 09:14 PM

it's coming.... picture taken by Imre

Nah, those are canals for the Madinat Al Arab and they have been u/c since months ago and we have seen them on aerials from Flo and Imre months ago.

Krazy · October 18th, 2007, 10:26 PM

I just figured that was considered a part of Arabian Canal

metroreporter · October 19th, 2007, 06:58 AM

yur guess looks credible to me

***AltinD*** · October 19th, 2007, 07:54 PM

Onca again, that's not the Arabian Canal.

Krazy · October 19th, 2007, 11:01 PM

there's nothing released yet to suggest that the 'mini canal' is not a part of arabian canal and even if it wasn't it's relevant because the two are very similar in concept (besides the scale) and will part of the same project in the bigger picture.

dubaiflo · October 20th, 2007, 12:52 AM

Still this might not even connected to the actual Arabian Canal.

They will focus on the Dubai Waterfront enabling works, which include the Madinat Al Arab canals first. I'd also say this has actually nothing to do with the AC.

joobn · October 20th, 2007, 05:31 PM

geez, there both bloody canals, its pretty cool whether its part of it or not!

***AltinD*** · October 20th, 2007, 09:43 PM

Of course it's cool but it isn't on-topic.

Flintbug · October 25th, 2007, 02:03 PM

Does anyone know whether there will be any changes in level and locks on the canal? These would create barriers to travel and would be very significant in determining the value of land next to the canal. If the canal stayed at sea level would that mean no need to line the bottom to prevent leaks? Not sure that tides alone would be able to flush this length and prevent stagnation.

I believe it will remain at sea level.....

whonose · October 26th, 2007, 12:48 PM

How are they planning to keep the water flowing through 75km?

DUBAI · October 26th, 2007, 02:45 PM

It will flow downhill...

Knuddel Knutsch · October 26th, 2007, 02:48 PM

^jep, downhill when it goes in a U-Shapge from sealvevel to sealevel.....

wait, I got a idea :
there is a guy who knows how to manage that, and he even made a constructioh drawing already
