Description
As populations in cities grow, natural ground cover is being replaced with impervious surface cover and this in turn is causing an increase in stowmwater runoff. The need to successfully manage and mitigate the harmful affects of stowmwater runoff is becoming clear. This course discusses how permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) offers solutions for stormwater management including mitigating runoff volumes, decreasing peak flow, reducing flooding potential, and decreasing stream bank erosion. Pavement components, design considerations, and pavement maintenance are also examined.
