permeable concrete
Permeable concrete is a type of concrete designed to allow water to flow through it instead of creating runoff. This is achieved by using a special mix that includes larger aggregates and fewer fine particles, creating voids or spaces. When it rains, the water seeps through the concrete into the ground below, reducing flooding and erosion and replenishing groundwater. It's commonly used in parking lots, walkways, and other surfaces where drainage is important. This environmentally friendly solution helps manage stormwater and protects natural ecosystems.
