Pervious concrete can offer a durable, yet permeable, surface
capable of supporting heavy traffic loads or design storm. They
can: 1. Reduce the amount of rainfall runoff, eliminating or
minimizing the stormwater drainage and retention systems; 2.
reduce or avoid downstream flooding; and 3. help to recharge
and maintain aquifers and the natural groundwater level. |
