Use of porous pavers can be part of a stormwater management control program and groundwater recharge or storage system.
Erosion control of stream beds and river banksĮrosion Control and Groundwater Recharge Basins. Reduce pollutants reaching surface waters. Reduce thermal loading on surface waters. Use infiltration to reduce stormwater runoff that leaves parking lots. Permeable or porous pavers on your project can have a positive impact on the following issues: Stormwater and Erosion Control Applications In some communities, when a second parking space is not covered, it may count as a landscaped area if paving uses permeable pavers. Reduce amount of impervious surfaces in a project. Use as a green alternative to asphalt pathways. In some communities, calculation of open space permits an allowance for use of permeable decorative pavers. Use porous sections beneath roof overhangs to help break force of water and prevent erosion. Can reduce turf-wear problems in high foot traffic areas. Porous pavers can be used for soil reinforcement and stabilization. Porous pavers permit planting of grass or other vegetation while providing a driveable surface. 
Placement around trees can allow water and elements to get to tree roots.Here are some of the ways porous pavers can be used to improve elements of the landscape: The porous pavers allow the area to resemble an unpaved area yet provide many of the same benefits of paving. Porous pavers allow ground cover to be planted and can provide emergency vehicle access and landscaping at the same time as controlled runoff.
Design parking areas with water retention in mind.Here are some typical applications for permeable / porous pavers at areas used by vehicles:
