permeable asphalt

Permeable asphalt is a type of pavement designed to allow water to pass through it, reducing surface runoff. Unlike traditional asphalt, it contains larger aggregates and voids that create spaces for water to flow into the ground below. This helps manage stormwater, decreases the risk of flooding, and replenishes groundwater. Permeable asphalt is often used in parking lots, driveways, and roads, promoting sustainable drainage practices and improving environmental health. By filtering rainwater, it can also reduce pollutants entering waterways, contributing to cleaner ecosystems and urban areas.
