Permeable Pavement
Permeable pavement is a type of surface material designed to allow water to pass through it, reducing runoff and promoting groundwater recharge. It is made from various materials, including porous asphalt, permeable concrete, and interlocking pavers, which create spaces for water to infiltrate.
This innovative solution helps manage stormwater, preventing flooding and erosion in urban areas. By allowing rainwater to seep into the ground, permeable pavement also helps filter pollutants, improving water quality in nearby water bodies. It is increasingly used in parking lots, driveways, and walkways to enhance sustainability in urban planning.
