Cities represent a remarkable transformation of the landscape from natural to human-made. One of the most significant changes to the landscape that comes with urbanization is impervious cover.

These include urban green spaces, planting trees, urban parks, green roofs, retention ponds, permeable pavements, wetlands, mangroves and river conservation. A number of cities have adopted NbS ...

The overall project’s drainage infrastructure, meant to reduce stormwater ponding that is a problem in the area, includes permeable pavements, trench drains and pre-treatment tanks. An interim ...

These range from bioswales to "tree trenches" that direct storm water to the roots of trees to permeable pavement that lets water seep into the soil. Many features are multi-functional — such ...

The uptake of permeable pavements could enhance stormwater drainage capacity, reducing surface runoff and mitigate flood risks, according to a new report by the Centre for Study of Science, Technology ...

A report by CSTEP proposes permeable pavements to boost stormwater drainage and mitigate floods in urban coastal regions like Chennai and Mangaluru. It advocates Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to tackle ...
