1.2.2. Permeable Pavements

Try these first

1. 1.

   What do permeable pavements allow?

   Hint

   Think about how water interacts with surfaces.

2. 2.

   Name one type of material used to create permeable pavements.

   Hint

   Consider common types of pavement or concrete.

3. 3.

   What is a significant benefit of permeable pavements?

   • Increase runoff
   • Reduce flooding
   • Limit evaporation

   Hint

   Consider how water would typically behave in a city.

4. 4.

   Is it true that permeable pavements can improve water quality?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the relationship between surfaces and water runoff.

5. 5.

   Describe an urban scenario where implementing permeable pavements could lead to significant improvements. What factors would you consider in your design?

   Hint

   Think about areas in cities known for flooding during heavy rain.

6. 6.

   Analyze the long-term economic benefits of using permeable pavements versus traditional pavements in the context of climate change.

   Hint

   Consider costs associated with flood damage and water quality management.
