An international literature review was undertaken to identify the most appropriate design for
a pervious paving system. The literature review revealed that information contained in …

Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS; or best management practices) are increasingly
being used as ecological engineering techniques to prevent the contamination of receiving …

The increasing prevalence of microplastics (MP) in urban environments has raised concerns
over their negative effects on ecosystems and human health. Stormwater runoff, and road …

This study assessed the potential for potable water savings in a building by using
stormwater filtered by a porous asphalt pavement located in a parking lot. Stormwater is …

Pervious concrete (PC) provides multiple benefits, including reducing stormwater runoff,
purifying water, recharging groundwater, and reducing the heat island effect. This study aims …

Abstract Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) can take many forms, but the main
idea is to manage and use rainwater close to where it falls, ie at source. Permeable …

Adequate infiltration through Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements (PICPs) is critical
to their hydraulic performance. Detected by monitoring infiltration performance, reduced …

Extensive urbanization impairs biological communities through landscape alteration and
physiochemical changes to stream ecosystems. Analogous to urban development in cities …

Urban stormwater runoff rates are expected to intensify with climate change. Permeable
surfaces, a low-impact development (LID) stormwater management technology, can be used …

Rain gardens effectively remove some stressors from storm water, but in most cases they
show much smaller removal rates of nitrate, likely due to the high sand and low organic …
