Abstract Pervious concrete is a unique and effective material used to tackle important environmental problems, to maintain green, sustainable growth, and to reduce storm water runoff and pollutants. Clogging of pervious concrete is an important potential issue in serviceability, considered one of the primary limitations of pervious concrete systems. The sediment deposition pattern of pervious concrete was determined using three clogging materials: clay, sand, and clayey silty sand. The clogged specimens were cleaned by pressure washing, vacuuming, and a combined method. In total, ten clogging and cleaning cycles were carried out on each sample to evaluate the draining capacity of the pervious concrete. The clogging test was assessed by measuring the infiltration rate during clogging and after cleaning, for each cycle. The experiment results showed that a reduction in permeability due to different types of sedimentation material as well as recovery in permeability was achieved after applying various cleaning methods.

Pervious concrete is a light weight concrete containing voids in the range of 14 to 31%. The usage of pervious concretes has been in- creased due to its merits on pollution control and environmental considerations. The pervious concretes are also used to reduce the storm water runoff and recharges the underground water table. Eventhough the pervious concrete has lot of merits, it also has consider- able demerits related to strength issues. In order to achieve the strength high cement content mixes may be incorporated which is not a viable solution. In this paper, geopolymer technology has been used to develop pervious concrete. Geopolymer pervious concrete is pro- duced using GGBS as raw material and sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate as activator solution. Five mixes have been developed with varying GGBS content of 450, 460, 470, 480 and 490 kg/m3. The cement to aggregate ratio is fixed at 1:3 for all the mixtures and the water cement ratio is kept constant at 0.3. The compressive strength revealed that strength of around 20 MPa was attained for all the mixtures and strength increases with respect to the increase in GGBS content. There was not significant changes in the permeability property since the aggregate cement ratio is maintained for all the mixtures.

Construction of pervious concrete (PC) pavements is an exclusive and efficient measure for solving environmental problems while also contributing to sustainability. Pervious concrete enables rainwater to percolate into soil thus reducing the storm water runoff and assisting in ground water recharge. It is used for the construction of pedestrian pathways, parking lots, and in various other applications. During the research, the content of coarse aggregate grains in geopolymer binder was varied in order to investigate pervious concrete properties. It was established that pervious concrete with geopolymer binder containing fly ash meets requirements set in regulations, and that it can be used for sustainable pavement construction.

Surface Runoff occurs due to high rainfall that falls in an area that is able to caused flooding. Infiltration Biopori Technology serves to reduce storm water runoff is to increase the water absorbing soil thus reducing surface runoff that often causes floods. This research aim was to get the value of infiltration without biopori infiltration and infiltration with infiltration biopori, as well as obtaining the presentation of discharge runoff can be reduced by 1 piece infiltration biopori on a plot of land with an area of 100 m2. The research methods used quantitative methods. Primary data obtained from testing on-site infiltration studies used Single Tool Infiltrometer Ring with a diameter of 25 cm, were analyzed used the method of Horton Curve. Secondary data, precipitation last 10 years from the year 2006 to 2015 obtained from BMKG Djalaludin Gorontalo Airport consists of three stations that BPP-Tapa, Talumelito, Slamet Djalaludin Gorontalo, then analyzed used rational methods to obtain discharge of the runoff. Analysis of the results obtained, infiltration without absorption biopori was 4.5 cm / hour, once created biopori infiltration infiltration rate rose to 38.1 cm / hour, and 1 absorption biopori on a plot of land with an area of 100 m2 can reduce runoff discharge at 10.82%

Potential Applications

Pervious concrete is one of the materials with potential applications in the construction industry because it can help reduce environmental problems caused by conventional concrete, improve storm water management, and provide a low-impact development alternative. Pervious concrete has numerous advantages, including assisting with water filtering and lowering pollutants. The ability to reduce storm water runoff is the most important feature that attracts the attention of pervious concrete. The objective of the present investigation is to evaluate the properties of pervious concrete and compare them with normal concrete. On the other hand, the requirement for aggregate to produce concrete is high, while natural resources are reduced. An attempt was made to use Black Marble Stone Waste Aggregate in concrete by replacing natural aggregate at a ratio of 0, 50, and 100%.To obtain the behavior of pervious concrete, compressive, shear and bearing strength are evaluated. A total of 54 specimens were casted and tested in this experimental work to study the behavior of concrete. To assess the shear and bearing strengths, a regression model was developed.

As a result of urbanization, the pollutant discharges from sources such as treatment plant effluents and polluted stormwaters are responsible for an unacceptable water quality in the receiving waters.In particular, combined sewer system overflows may produce great damage due to a shock effect. To reduce these combined sewer overflow discharges, the most frequently used method is to build stormwater storage tanks. During storm water runoff, the hydraulic load of waste water treatment plants increases with additional retention storage. This might decrease the treatment efficiency and thereby decrease the benefit of stormwater storage tanks. The dynamic dependence between transport, storage and treatment is usually not taken into account. This dependence must be accounted for when planning treatment plants and calculating storage capacities in order to minimize the total pollution load to the receiving waters. A numerical model will be described that enables the BOD discharges to be continuously calculated. The pollutant transport process within the networks and the purification process within the treatment plants are simulated. The results of the simulation illustrate; a statistical balance of the efficiency of stormwater tanks with the treatment plant capacity and to optimize the volume of storm water tanks and the operation of combined sewer systems and treatment plants.

Sewage outfalls and storm water runoff introduces pathogenic human enteric viruses into marine coastal waters, which may pose a potential public health risk. Although members of the enterovirus group have been suggested as possible indicators of sewage pollution in marine waters, the lack of rapid, sensitive and cost effective methods have prevented routine monitoring in the United States. This study compared traditional cell culture and direct RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) amplification for detection of an enterovirus. Poliovirus could be recovered from 100 L of artificial seawater with an average efficiency of 77%, using adsorption and elution from electronegative filters. Viruses were eluted from the filters with 1.5% beef extract for viruses (BEV) adjusted to pH 9.5 and reconcentrated by organic flocculation to a volume of 30 mL. Substances which interfered with detection by RT-PCR were removed by treatment of the concentrates with sephadex and chelex resins. Direct RT-PCR could detect 2.5 and 0.025 PFU (plaque forming units) for single (25 cycles) and double PCR (2 × 25 cycles) in 10 μL of pure culture poliovirus samples, respectively. These methods are currently being applied to assess the occurrence of enteroviruses at marine bathing beaches influenced by sewage discharges.
