    Smart Roads (Permeable Roads) : Abstract

    Smart roads, also known as permeable or water soaking roads, are an innovative solution to problems caused by expanding urban areas. Traditional non-permeable asphalt roads are common in India and do not allow water to soak through, disrupting natural water cycles. Permeable roads, composed of materials like pervious concrete or porous asphalt, are used in other countries and allow water to permeate through the surface and drain safely below into pipes or for irrigation. The advantages of permeable roads include managing stormwater runoff, reducing maintenance costs, recharging groundwater, controlling pollutants, and allowing for vegetation growth while recreating natural hydrological cycles.

    ABSTRACT:-

    SMART ROADS (PERMEABLE ROADS )


    Now a day’s cities and suburbs are constantly expanding ,Natural areas are
    disappearing ,the water cycle is disrupted ,blockage of drainage system ,so water
    management is now problematic .To overcome this problem a new Innovative
    sustainable proven solution is invented known as Smart Roads (Permeable roads
    /Water soaking roads ),which allows the water to soak through the ground below
    .And later to the pipes and further can be used for irrigation purposes ,domestic
    purposes .

    There are two types of material are used :

    1. Permeable asphalt
    2. Non –permeable asphalt

    Non permeable asphalt is using in India,which can’t absorb the water

    Whereas permeable asphalt is using in other countries,which can absorb the


    water .

    There are several types of materials are used:

    1) Pervious concrete
    2) Porous Asphalt
    3) Paving Stones
    4) Plastic –based pavers
    5) Porous turf

     Cost per square foot is Rs.36 to Rs.72

    Advantages of permeable roads

    1) Managing Run-off
    2) Maintenance cost is low
    3) Avoids damages to road ,less repair
    4) Can avoid over loads
    5) Ground water recharge
    6) Controlling pollutants
    7) Increases the growth of trees
    8) Increases the ground water table
    9) Reduces the traffic accidents
    10) Used for irrigation purposes
    11) Keeps the surrounding cool
    12) It recreates natural hydrological conditions
    13) Possible of more vegetation
    14) Improve the water quality
    15) Life span more
    16) Increases the urbanization
    17) Avoids water –logging etc……
