porous pavement

Porous pavement is a type of surface designed to allow water to pass through it, rather than run off. Made with materials that have small gaps or holes—like permeable concrete, asphalt, or interlocking pavers—it helps manage stormwater by reducing flooding and decreasing the burden on drainage systems. This sustainable approach also minimizes water pollution and helps replenish groundwater. Porous pavement is commonly used in parking lots, walkways, and driveways, offering an effective way to promote environmental health while maintaining durability and safety for everyday use.
