The precipitation and water get stored in the reservoir from where it slowly infiltrates the soil below or is drained via a drain tile.

There are new techniques that allow manufacturers to use the byproducts, such as slag cement from iron manufacturers, to make concrete that can be used as a component of the green pavement. This helps in reducing landfill space as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Since water and precipitation seep through the pavement, there won\u2019t be any ice formation on it. Even in freezing temperatures, the pavement will remain warm and proves to be a safe surface for driving and walking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>The pavement stays cool in the summers due to the circulation of precipitation and water. Additionally, its lighter color also helps in the same.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Drawbacks of Permeable Pavement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, there are some disadvantages that come along with permeable pavements. They include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>It is more expensive to install as compared to traditional pavements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>The maintenance requirements of permeable pavement are quite different. It is prone to clogging if the water in the reservoir isn\u2019t drained out properly. The sand and fine particles that can block the space between the pavers must be removed using an industrial vacuum. It can even clog when you sand for ice during the winter. If you do not cater to clogging quickly, it will cause the water and pollutants to run off the surface, defeating the purpose of installing permeable pavement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>They aren\u2019t as strong as traditional or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonasphalt.com.au\/driveways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asphalt pavements<\/a>. If you put consistent pressure (like heavy vehicle braking) on it, then the pores of the pavement will collapse. Due to this, permeable pavement isn\u2019t ideal for building airport runways and highways.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Stormwater Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There is another major benefit of installing permeable pavement \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/product-category\/stormwater-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stormwater management<\/a>. Permeable pavements help in managing stormwater efficiently by re-establishing a natural hydrologic balance and reducing the volume of runoff. It releases the precipitation slowly in the ground rather than letting it flow into storm drains, which is a huge wastage. Further, it can help in reducing the concentration of pollutants in the stormwater in three ways: physically \u2014 by trapping them in the pavement, chemically \u2014 the bacteria and other microbes break down and use the pollutants, and biologically \u2014 <a href=\"\/gb?p=59517\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plants growing<\/a> in between the pavers help in trapping and storing the pollutants. You can put this stormwater, which otherwise would have gone to waste, to good use at your home or company.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18705 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/The-Importance-of-Urban-Trees-in-Stormwater-Management-featured-1024x317.jpg\" width=\"840\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/The-Importance-of-Urban-Trees-in-Stormwater-Management-featured-1024x317.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/The-Importance-of-Urban-Trees-in-Stormwater-Management-featured-300x93.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/The-Importance-of-Urban-Trees-in-Stormwater-Management-featured-768x238.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/The-Importance-of-Urban-Trees-in-Stormwater-Management-featured-1200x371.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/The-Importance-of-Urban-Trees-in-Stormwater-Management-featured.jpg 1390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pros of permeable pavements outweigh the cons, which is why you shouldn\u2019t think twice of using permeable pavements.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/108818673976942904987\/posts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sam Wade<\/a> is an innovative digital marketing manager designing end-to-end marketing campaigns for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonasphalt.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jackson Asphalt<\/a>.
