Under this initiative, the multiple communities of the capital city will be guided to take measures for diminishing the usage of single-use plastic water bottles in their day-to-day life. 

As part of the ‘Dubai can‘, the government will install more than thirty (30) drinking water stations citywide. The authorities underlined that this would encourage the general public as well as visitors to ‘refill for life.’
