porous asphalt

Porous asphalt is a special type of paving material designed with open spaces that allow water to pass through it. Unlike traditional asphalt, which traps water on surface, porous asphalt directs rainwater into the ground or drainage systems below. This helps reduce runoff, decrease flooding, and improve water quality by filtering pollutants. It’s often used in parking lots, driveways, and roadways in environmentally sensitive areas. While it requires proper maintenance to prevent clogging, porous asphalt offers an effective way to manage stormwater naturally, contributing to sustainable infrastructure and a healthier environment.
