“…As urbanization increases, consequently, it leads to the scene of urbanized areas with increased impervious surfaces [3][4][5]. Known environmentally related issues associated with the increased impervious areas include the heat island effect [3,4,6,7], increasing surface runoff and peak runoff rates caused by stormwater [3,5,8,9], and surface water pollution [5,[8][9][10][11]. On the other hand, rainfall frequency, intensity, and amount are changing, and the frequency of floods and droughts are becoming more common in many parts of the world [3,5,12].…”

“…In addition to the common permeable pavement systems mentioned, the JW Eco-technology also recently gained attention. The JW Eco-technology pavement has been described in the literature as a load-bearing pavement because of its unique structure and design [3,57,58]. The JW Eco-technology product was first installed in the USA at the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) in 2016, and it may provide a permeable pavement alternative that has the necessary structural strength needed for roadways, while also providing stormwater management and other environmental benefits.…”

“…It has become an option to replace impervious concrete in many areas of Taiwan and China [59,60]. In Taiwan, a 10-year guarantee for the evenness and smoothness of the JW pavement is provided by the inventor [3]. JW Eco-technology combines the use of plastic frames and concrete to form its structure.…”

“…A prescribed number of JW Eco-balls, or plastic hollow balls that increase the storge capacity of water, are distributed throughout the gravel layer. The JW Eco-technology has been tested successfully for 10 years at selected locations in Taiwan [3,57,58]. In Taiwan, JW Eco-technology pavement has been used for street sidewalks, pedestrian walkways, outdoor parking lots, squares, pedestrian walkways, and basketball courts.…”

“…In Taiwan, JW Eco-technology pavement has been used for street sidewalks, pedestrian walkways, outdoor parking lots, squares, pedestrian walkways, and basketball courts. In addition, it has been installed at a harbor loading area where container trucks have run frequently for years The air-circulating aqueduct openings are evenly distributed among the concrete unit, approximately 100 pores per square meter [3,57]. The interior of each aqueduct surface is smooth, to allow surface water to flow directly along the interior wall downward to the subsurface layer.…”

Permeable pavements have the ability to reduce surface runoff by allowing water to infiltrate into the underlying soil. The potential of permeable pavements to assist in managing stormwater and improve water quality has gained attention as an option, other than conventional impermeable concrete for paving purposes. This study examined the permeability of three different pavement systems, including the JW Eco-technology pavement (JW), which has not previously been installed or studied in the U.S., standard impermeable concrete (IC), and pervious concrete (PC). Each pavement type was installed in triplicate. Devices based on the ASTM C1701/C1701M and ASTM C1781/C1781M constant-head methods, the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) falling-head permeameter, and two new square frames, SF-4 and SF-9, modified to fit the JW pavement, were utilized for permeability measurement on several locations of each pavement system. The results showed that the JW Eco-technology pavement had comparable permeability to the commonly used PC pavement in each method used. In addition, there was a strong correlation between the permeability measurements of NCAT method and SF-4, and between the ASTM standard and SF-9. The square frames used in this study showed their effectiveness and efficiency in performing permeability measurements. It was also found that the permeability obtained had a pronounced difference in values between the falling head and the constant head methods, with an average ratio ranging from 4.08–6.36.

The restoration of ecosystems provides an important opportunity to improve the provision of ecosystem services. Achieving the maximum possible benefits from restoration with a limited budget requires knowing which places if restored would produce the best combination of improved ecosystem services. Using an ecosystem services assessment and optimization algorithm, we find choices that generate maximum benefits from ecosystem restoration. We applied a set of weights to integrate multiple services into a unified approach and find the optimal land restoration option given those weights. We then systematically vary the weights to find a Pareto frontier that shows potentially optimal choices and illustrates trade-offs among services. We applied this process to evaluate optimal restoration on Hainan Island, China, a tropical island characterized by multiple ecosystem service hotspots and conditions of poverty. We analyzed restoration opportunities with the goal of increasing a provisioning service, plantation revenue, and several water-related ecosystem services that contribute to improved water quality and flood mitigation. We found obvious spatial inconsistencies in the optimal location for maximizing separate services and tradeoffs in the provision of these services. Optimized land-use patterns greatly out-performed the non-target restoration scheme. When explicit consideration of the importance of poverty alleviation was taken into account, the location of the prioritized areas shifted and trade-offs among services varied. Our study emphasizes the importance of integrating social concerns into land-use planning to mitigate conflicts and improve equity, especially in the areas where poverty and hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem services are highly geographically coincident.
