STUDY OF PERMEABLE PAVEMENTS

The aim of this paper is to summarize literature on permeable pavements, highlight the present trends in research and industry, and to recommend future areas of research and development. Permeable paving is a range of sustainable materials and techniques for permeable pavements with a base and sub base that allow the movement of storm water through the surface. The goal is to regulate storm water at the source, reduce runoff, reduce cost and increase groundwater water level, thus a method to harvest storm water. Porous pavement is exclusive and effective means to meet growing environmental demands. By capturing rainwater and allowing it to seep into the ground, this pavement technology creates more efficient land use by eliminating the necessity for retention ponds, swell, and other costly storm water management devices.
