Pavement designers are increasingly facing the need to consider environmental issues in pavement design and construction. It is therefore important that urban pavements comply with the principles of Water Sensitive Urban Design. Permeable pavements actively encourage water infiltration and a wide range of environmental benefits can be achieved, including flood mitigation by retention or detention, water improvement by filtration or retention and water conservation by collection and reuse.
Below is a list of permeable paving information available on this website. It includes permeable paving sofware, technical papers and guidelines relating to concrete permeable paving.
