Capturing Water in Porous Concrete to Nourish Street Foliage

“Why should we think about capturing water in porous concrete to nourish street foliage?”

Street foliage is unable to utilize water that’s fallen on nearby impervious surfaces. But if these surfaces can become porous, then they can collect the water and feed the nearby trees. This can reduce stormwater runoff and provide extra water for plants at once. Urban planners and city officials should seriously think about Capturing Water in Porous Concrete to Nourish Street Foliage.
