3. Permeable paving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeable_paving

   Permeable paving demonstration Stone paving in Santarém, Portugal. Permeable paving surfaces are made of either a porous material that enables stormwater to flow through it or nonporous blocks spaced so that water can flow between the gaps. Permeable paving can also include a variety of surfacing techniques for roads, parking lots, and ...

   A green roof installed at Chicago City Hall Rain garden. Low-impact development (LID) is a term used in Canada and the United States to describe a land planning and engineering design approach to manage stormwater runoff as part of green infrastructure. LID emphasizes conservation and use of on-site natural features to protect water quality.

5. Ecogrid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecogrid

   Ecogrid, known as Ecoraster [1] to most of Europe, is a type of plastic, permeable paving grid used in the construction of parking lots, walkways and other outdoor surfaces. Ecogrid is marketed as a green technology because it is designed to reduce harmful stormwater runoff and is made with post-consumer plastic to reduce waste. [2]

9. Cool pavement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_pavement

   Cool pavements are commonly made with reflective coatings or aggregates applied to conventional pavements or incorporation of porous or permeable materials. [4] While pavement load capability may be reduced with more frequent maintenance requirements, [4] cool pavements show promising results in reducing ambient temperatures and reducing energy ...
