As mentioned, permeable pavements eliminate impervious areas in a watershed, without sacrificing road and parking space. The permeable pavement itself is only the top layer of a larger permeable ...

Permeable pavement allows rainfall to pass through, reducing stormwater runoff and pollution. The most common cause of permeable pavement failure is clogging from sediment and organic debris. Regular ...

While stormwater runoff pollutants in general aren't great for aquatic animals, chemicals from tire particles are particularly harmful to salmon. A study now shows that permeable pavements could keep ...

A research team is solving a high-tech waste problem while addressing the environmental challenge of stormwater run-off. The researchers have shown they can greatly strengthen permeable pavements by ...

To make cities more resilient to flooding caused by climate change, researchers are developing more permeable pavements to allow water to flow through streets instead of running off the surface and ...

The primary function of porous or permeable pavement is to allow water to run rapidly through the surface to a sub-layer, which allows general or directed drainage. Permeable asphalt and concrete are ...

Permeable Pavements, billed as “the first comprehensive handbook for the proper design, construction, and maintenance of permeable pavement systems,” is now available. Permeable pavements enable ...

After Memorial Day, as midnight approached, I watched a storm from my kids' bedroom window. Their sleeping faces were lit by flashes of lightning, and I could see the stormwater rising steadily. I ...

Permeable pavement systems represent an innovative approach to urban water management, designed to mitigate surface runoff and enhance water quality. These systems integrate porous materials and ...

Could permeable pavement ease flooding woes in New York City? In Borough Park, permeable pavement is being installed along curb lines. Among the kosher markets, eateries, and synagogues of Brooklyn’s ...

If you drive around Wilmington looking at parking lots and sidewalks, it won’t take long to find a patch of permeable pavement. As the name suggests, permeable pavement is designed to provide a smooth ...
