Pittsburgh is transforming its aging #streets. In the Dellrose Street project, #permeable pavers and the SATURO Infiltrometer helped reduce the need for traditional #stormwater systems like pipes and catch basins.

Traditional paving stops rain from soaking into the ground, causing rapid #runoff into drains. 🌧️ But #permeable paving allows water to:
✅ Drain through surfaces
✅ Replenish groundwater
✅ Reduce pressure on urban #drainage systems

#Permeable Paving – Surfaces that allow #rainwater to soak into the ground instead of running off.
Green Roofs – Roofs covered in vegetation that #absorb rainwater and provide insulation.
Swales – Shallow, vegetated channels that slow and filter rainwater.

Green roofs, rain gardens, and #permeable paving don’t just manage water, they also improve water quality and create greener, more vibrant spaces for our communities.
