Scientists have developed permeable pavements to reduce the problems caused by storm and runoff water in urban areas. The project also aims to prepare for the higher volumes of rainfall and more ...

Understanding how different permeable surfaces respond to winter stress and how to maintain them effectively ensures that ...

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 ...

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 ...

When rain falls on our roofs, streets, and parking lots in cities and their suburbs, the water cannot soak into the ground as it should because of the type of infrastructure we now have. From roads to ...

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 ...

In co-operation with industrial partners, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd has developed permeable pavements to reduce the problems caused by storm and runoff water in urban areas. The ...

For a landscaping update that can add curb appeal, help limit stormwater runoff and prevent pollution, a growing number of homeowners are installing permeable driveways. Permeable paving lets water ...

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 ...

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 ...

For Jay Clark, a self-described “snowbird” who divides his time between Vermont and New Orleans, the Crescent City’s mild winters are a large part of its appeal. He and his wife, Lillian Gahagan, ...

As Australia continues to mop up after one of the wettest years on record, councils might want to consider a new flood mitigation strategy -- permeable pavements to suit specific soil and rainfall ...
