 ABSTRACT

Water Absorbing Pavement Is A New Technique In Pavement Construction. Through This

Technique We Can Find A Solution For The Low Ground Water Level, Effective Management
Stormwater Runoff, Agricultural Problems And Water Logging Problems Occurs On The Streets/
Roads Of Cities In Rainy Season Etc. A Pervious Concrete Mixture Contains Little And No Sand,
Creating A Substantial Void Content. Using Sufficient Paste To Coat And Bind The Aggregates Particles
Together Creates A System Of Highly Permeable, Interconnected Voids That Drains Quickly.

 Pervious Concrete Can Be Introduced In Low Trafficvolume Areas, Residential Roads, Alleys,

Driveways, Sidewalks, Pathways And Parking Areas. Pervious Concrete As A Paving Material Have The
Ability To Allow Water To Flow Through Itself To Recharge Ground Water Level And Minimize Surface
Storm Water Runoff. This Property Of Porous Concrete Reviews Its Applications And Engineering
Properties, Including Environmental Benefits, Strength And Durability.
