Permeable Pavement: Revolutionizing Residential Stormwater Management
Innovative solutions used in a residential stormwater management plan play a crucial role in creating sustainable communities. One solution getting immense popularity in recent times is permeable pavement. Unlike traditional impervious surfaces, the new-age permeable pavement enables water to infiltrate through its surface, minimizing stormwater runoff and facilitating numerous environmental benefits. Today we will discuss how permeable pavement can revolutionize residential stormwater management and contributes to a greener future. What are the challenges with traditional pavement? Materials like asphalt and concrete are impermeable, as are pavements made with it. This prevents rainwater from penetrating it, resulting in rainwater accumulation, often in large volumes that flow off the surface. This runoff overwhelms the drainage system, ends in erosion, and carries pollutants to natural and artificial water bodies, degrading water quality and threatening the ecosystems. The Concept o
