when it rains it porous Pervious Concrete Pavement perviouspavement.org
Let it rain! Pervious pavement captures stormwater and allows it to seep through to the ground. Porous concrete plays a significant role in helping to replenish groundwater, reduce stormwater runoff and minimize the load to storm drainage systems. It also helps to meet U.S. EPA stormwater regulations. This pavement technology helps eliminate the need for retention ponds, swales and other stormwater management devices. As a result, it can help lower project costs. So let it rain, and soak-up the savings with pervious concrete pavement.
