scope:
Concern has been growing in recent years toward reducing the pollutants in water supplies and the environment. In the 1960s, engineers realized that runoff from developed real estate had the potential to pollute surface and groundwater supplies. Further, as land is developed, runoff leaves the site in higher rates and volumes, leading to downstream flooding and bank erosion. Pervious concrete pavement reduces the impact of development by reducing or eliminating stormwater runoff rates and protecting water supplies.
