“…Valinski and Chandler [18] showed that permeable pavement with asphalt mixture and Portland concrete as a surface presented filtering rates greater than native soils. It has been shown that permeable interlocking concrete pavement can reduce stormwater runoff [10,19,20] and can filter and decrease pollutants concentrations [15,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Even the possibility of using a permeable pavement system to treat greywater for irrigation and toilet flushing has been studied [27]; it was found that permeable pavements can work as a treatment and storage unit in greywater reuse schemes, but they are inefficient in reducing total aerobic and total coliform bacteria.…”

A reduction in potable water demand in buildings could be made by using non-potable water for certain uses, such as flushing toilets. This represents a sustainable strategy that results in potable water savings while also using an underutilised resource. This work assesses the use of permeable interlocking concrete pavement to filter stormwater that could be used for non-potable purposes in buildings. Two pavement model systems were tested. One of the model systems presents a filter course layer with coarse sand and the other model system has no filter course layer. In order to evaluate the filtering capacity, the model systems were exposed to rain events. The amount of water infiltrated through the layers was measured to represent the potential quantity available for use. Stormwater runoff samples were collected from a parking lot paved with impermeable interlocked blocks and then, these were tested in both model systems. Water samples were subjected to quality tests according to the parameters recommended by the Brazilian National Water Agency. The model system with no filter course showed filtering capacity higher (88.1%) than the one with a filter course layer (78.8%). The model system with a filter course layer was able to reduce fecal coliforms (54.7%), total suspended solids (62.5%), biochemical oxygen demand (78.8%), and total phosphorus concentrations (55.6%). Biochemical oxygen demand (42.4%) and total phosphorus concentrations (44.4%) increased in the model system with no filter course layer. In conclusion, one can state that the filter course layer used in permeable interlocking concrete pavement can contribute to decreasing pollutants and can improve stormwater quality. The use of permeable interlocking concrete pavement showed to be a potential alternative for filtering stormwater prior to subsequent treatment for non-potable uses in buildings.

“…Conventionally, percolation is assumed to recharge groundwater and contribute to baseflow through subsurface hidden paths [60]. Yet, lateral seepage from the bioretention is not negligible, and it can be comparable to ET amount [64] or even a much more dominant term than both ET and vertical percolation [65]. The fate of the lateral seepage has not been extensively studied yet, which could end up being intercepted by downstream rooting systems and eventually released into the air by ET again, instead of reaching the channels as baseflow.…”

“…Among them, mass-balance tracking is most often adopted due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Mass balance can be tracked indirectly by interpreting the variations in moisture content or ponding water such as in permeable pavement [85], green roof [90], and bioretention cases [65] or, more often, directly monitored by the weight change via a lysimeter. These methods generally focus on a small piece of GI and by various degrees block moisture, momentum, and energy exchanges between the monitored piece and the unmonitored environment.…”

Green infrastructure (GI) is a common solution for stormwater management in an urban environment, with attached environmental benefits like flood control, urban heat island relief, adaptations to climate change, biodiversity protection, air pollution reduction, and food production. Evapotranspiration (ET) controls the GI's hydrologic performance and affects all related benefits. Essentially, ET constrains the turnover of moisture storage and determines the demand for supplemental irrigation and then the cost-effectiveness of a GI project. Considering the spatial heterogeneousness of an urban space and the GI's multi-layer designs, the classic ET equations have challenges in representing the ET variations from GI units. The underperformance of the existing ET models is partly due to the lack of corresponding high-quality field observations for each GI type in various urban settings. This chapter, therefore, summarizes the current research progress and existing challenges regarding the benefit, measurement, and simulation of ET process from GI.

“…It will also cause a lack of investment in the maintenance of roads -pit and landing. An assessment of the impact factors and environmental effects on asphalt and concrete pavements was presented by Winston et al (2020) [8]. Two specific case studies were analysed here, each with alternatives available for pavement construction, the traditional flexible pavement designed according to national standards versus the modern steel-fibres (SFR-RCC)-Compressed concrete paving.…”

“…These alternatives were analysed using the GABI Programme to assess their environmental aspects related to the concept of sustainability as well as the effects of environmental factors on both models. Following a detailed discussion of the main findings obtained in these studies, conclusions and recommendations were formulated for an adequate selection of building alternatives [8]. In the present paper, the main issue discussed is the floods and rainfall effects on roads, and a redesign of road geometry is performed using accurate engineering formulas and design conditions.…”

Background: Water floods have a considerable impact on roads sustainability by creating roads cracks, breaking down and holes, and failure for some other parts. The existence of good drainage system serviced the road and draining the water resulted from rain floods is crucial. These significant influences can be classified as positive or negative, low, moderate, or high. Aim and Objectives: This paper discusses the water floods and rainfall effects on roads and highways in Jordan as well as the drainage system on road sustainability and performance. The main aim of this paper is to investigate and analyse water as rainfall or floods affecting roads and highways in Jordan. The importance of this study is represented by studying and analysing the effects of rainfall and water floods on road construction and sustainability in Jordan after the latest high rain sizes of this winter and water floods, which affect the roads and highways in a good percentage. The other importance of the study is represented in offering solutions to problems caused by the environmental effects, specially floods and high rainfall rates. Methodology: all data and information about status of Jordanian roads during winter and floods are collected from real cases of about 40 main and semi-main roads in Jordan. Results and Conclusions: A good drainage system and repair operations and maintenance generally have a positive impact on road sustainability and survival age. The effects of slopes of the road and surface of the asphalt, rainfall intensity, and water flow velocity on drainage length and drainage time and water depth are discussed here.
