The pervious concrete has evident benefits. The quantity of water that exists on planet Earth is limited, it’s not an infinite resource; and pervious concrete brings the opportunity to maximize that water usage. When water infiltrates the pavement there is an immediate positive impact by recharging aquifers and giving vegetation, trees for example, the opportunity to nourish from the running water instead of it being wasted on the surface.
The most obvious benefit of this system is the economic savings on the utility bill. It also allows a decreased flow of water due to runoffs, reducing its environmental impact. It promotes self-sufficiency and lightens the processing operations and maintenance of water distribution networks.
