The impact of unwashed aggregate on water quality emanating from permeable pavements
… runoff, through a multi-objective approach. Permeable pavement systems (PPSs) are one of the most widely-adopted SuDS technologies in South Africa. South Africa is a water scarce country and the sustainable provision of water to its citizens is one of the most significant challenges facing …

Development of life cycle assessment model for permeable pavements and road drainage systems
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2025-12-01

An investigation of the treatment efficacy of permeable pavements for water quality performance in South Africa
… for use in irrigation or other suitable uses. Permeable pavements are a form of SuDS that provide on-source treatment and storage of stormwater while retaining the functionality of hardened surfaces. They have been studied extensively in the international literature but no studies in a South …

Urban Stormwater Management: Treatment of Heavy Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons with Bioretention and Permeable Pavement Technologies
… of two LID technologies, bioretention and permeable pavements in treating PAHs and common urban runoff metals such as lead, copper and zinc. Select case studies are used to synthesize data collected in the field and in the laboratory. Both technologies appear to be effective at treating …

Artificial Intelligence-Based Prediction of Permeable Pavement Surface Infiltration Rates
Permeable pavements are a type of low impact development technology that is an alternative to conventional asphalt pavements. These pavements are used to address urban stormwater runoff concerns through infiltration and storage. Overtime, sediments carried by stormwater runoff degrade the …

Rapid decision support tool based on novel ecosystem service variables for retrofitting sustainable drainage systems in the presence of trees
… of ecosystem services when retrofitting permeable pavements in urban areasthat either feature existing trees or should be planted with trees in the near future.There isalso a need for a geospatial decision support tool for different professions such as drainageengineers and urban …

Hydraulic Characterization of Interlocking Concrete Permeable Pavement
The environmental benefits of permeable pavements are vast and include stormwater quantity reduction, stormwater quality improvement, urban heat island mitigation, and groundwater recharge, among others. Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements, PICP explicitly infiltrate water, a new concept to …

Hydraulic design of pervious concrete highway shoulders
… on the hydraulic response of pervious concrete pavements exposed to sheet flowing water. Pervious concrete samples were placed in a hydraulic flume to determine capture discharges, infiltration rates, and by-pass flowrates for a broad range of void contents, across a broad range of pavement …

A Stormwater Management Model for California Polytechnic State University Campus
… for two projects that Cal Poly plans to build. Permeable Pavements (PPs) and Bioretention Cells (BRCs) were the LID types examined. The LIDs were evaluated based on peak flow and runoff volume reductions they would achieve. The potential reductions were compared for current conditions and the …

Designing green stormwater infrastructure for hydrologic and human benefits: an image based machine learning approach
… practices such as bioswales, rain gardens, permeable pavements, tree box filters, cisterns, urban wetlands, urban forests, stream buffers, and green roofs) to replace or supplement conventional storm water management practices and create more sustainable urban water systems. Current green …

Water Fluxes in Soil-Pavement Systems: Integrating Trees, Soils and Infrastructure
… pits) which recently are being covered with permeable pavements. Pavements are known to alter soil moisture and temperature, and may have implications for tree growth, root development and depth, drought resilience, and sidewalk lifting. Furthermore, tree pits are often the only unsealed soil …

Evaluating the Potential for Denitrification in PICP
Urbanisation has led to an increase in impermeable surfaces that often act as waterways during rainfall events and aid in the transportation of pollutants to nearby water sources, such as dams or rivers. The nitrogen compounds are major pollutants, particularly nitrate (NO3 - ) and ammonia (NH3), …

Quantification of climate change impacts on urban catchment hydrology and water sensitive design devices
… of WSD devices such as bioretention system and permeable pavements at 30% of the catchment area would mitigate extra flow and volume projected by most of the selected GCMs. However, this mitigation strategy would demand significant catchment areas for peak flows with more than 100% rise. On the …
