permeable pavement guidelines

Permeable pavement guidelines focus on designing surfaces that allow water to pass through and soak into the ground, reducing runoff and protecting water quality. These guidelines specify appropriate materials, such as porous concrete or asphalt, and proper installation techniques to ensure effective permeability. They also consider factors like load-bearing capacity, drainage system integration, and maintenance requirements to maintain permeability over time. Implementing these guidelines helps manage stormwater efficiently, minimizes flooding risks, and supports environmental sustainability while ensuring pavement durability and safety.
