Sometimes, when it rains, it floods. But a solution to help prevent flooding issues, especially in urban areas, could be right under our feet. Permeable pavement is a type of porous surface made up of ...

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 ...

With the management of stormwater, the demand for pervious concrete has increased and demand will likely continue. Thankfully, modern pervious concrete mixes have dramatically improved in terms of ...

When cities are covered in pavement, they more easily flood because stormwater can’t get into the ground. This alternative has tiny little holes to let rainwater through, while keeping pollution out.
