Abstract - Pervious concrete is a relatively new concept for rural road pavement, with increase into the problems in rural areas related to the low ground water level, agricultural problem. Pervious concrete has introduced in rural road as a road pavement material. Pervious concrete as a paving material has seen renewed interest due to its ability to allow water to flow through itself to minimize storm water runoff. In rural area cost consideration is the primary factor which must be kept in mind. So that in rural areas costly storm water management practices is not applicable. Pervious concrete pavement is unique and effective means to meet growing environmental demands. By capturing rainwater and allowing it to seep into the ground. This pavement technology creates more efficient land use by eliminating the need for retention ponds, swell, and other costly storm water management devices. Pervious concrete can be used for a number of applications, but its primary use is in road pavement such as in rural areas. In rural areas larger amount of rainwater ends up falling on impervious surfaces such as parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and streets rather than soaking into the soil. This creates an imbalance in the natural ecosystem and leads to a host of problems. Kavilpad is one of those place where there is no sufficient space for proper drainage hence it is the site that we selected for the implementation of our project.
2. AIM AND OBJECTIVE
Key Words: Pervious concrete, drainage, rural
Reconnaissance survey is done to examine the general character of the area for the purpose of determining the most feasible route or routes for the further more detailed investigations.
The main aim is to improve the drainage system using pervious concrete. The objectives are as follows:
Impact Factor value: 7.34
Evaluate the current road drainage design systems.
Develop better design for drainage systems that can be used in rural roads.

Pervious concrete can be used for a number of applications, but its primary use is in road pavement such as in rural areas. Pervious concrete is also referred to as porous concrete, permeable concrete, no-fines concrete, gap-graded concrete, and enhanced-porosity concrete. Pervious concrete contains little or no fine aggregates such as sand, it is sometimes referred to as “no-fines” concrete. Pervious concrete pavement in rural areas is a unique and effective means to achieve a proper drainage. In rural areas larger amount of rainwater ends up falling on impervious surfaces such as parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and streets rather than soaking into the soil. This water either flows away or it just cease to move. As the latter creates many severe problems in the habitat, the rainwater rushing across pavement surfaces picks up everything from oil and grease spills to chemical fertilizers. Kavilpad is one of those places with poor drainage system which induced a spark to take this project.
