Drainage Benefits of Porous, Permeable and Pervious Paving
The fundamental purpose of all permeable paving systems (PPSs) is to allow stormwater to infiltrate slowly, to be stored in its structure and then allowed to be conveyed elsewhere in association with the sustainable drainage system (SUDS). This chapter focuses on design, maintenance and water quality control aspects, as well as advantages and disadvantages of different PPSs, with the help of recent and relevant case studies. The latest innovations in tackling global climate change (GCC) are discussed, as is current research regarding the combination of PPS, geothermal heating and cooling, water treatment and recycling. Possible water quality variables of concern have the potential to endanger soil and groundwater resources if they are not sufficiently treated by biodegradation or removal during the infiltration process and include sediment and suspended solids, phosphorus, organic waste with high biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved nutrients and pollutants, oil and grease, and faecal pathogens.
