Water Retaining Pavement

Water retaining pavement is the pavement using porous asphalt mixture of which the void is filled with water retaining material. The heat of vaporization by its retained water restrains the rise of pavement temperature due to solar heat. It can contribute to a mitigation of heat-island phenomena in summer.
