Ten Solutions for Sustainability

3. Manage Stormwater

grid paversSolution: Concrete grid pavers reduce the rate and quantity of stormwater runoff because they increase infiltration of stormwater.

Pervious concrete has a high permeability that allows water to flow through easily, reducing the rate and quantity of stormwater runoff.

Benefit: Limit disruption and pollution of natural water flows by managing stormwater runoff. Preserve natural rainwater absorption characteristics by optimizing the use of soil, plants, trees and surface treatments to capture rain where it falls.
