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 ...

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 ...

Floods don't care if you just renovated your basement or finally got that dream couch. Water has a way of showing up ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
