Can we analyze and evaluate
the impact of man’s use of
earth’s land, water, and
atmospheric resources?
SPI 0707.7.7 Analyze and
evaluate the impact of man’s use
of earth’s land, water, and
atmospheric resources.
Which natural material do you think
works best to reduce runoff?
Why do you think so?
Imagine
 First we examined roof surfaces and their effect on
runoff.
 What is it useful to add green roofs to buildings?
 In cities, why is it useful to have paved areas? How do
paved areas add to the runoff problem?
 Today we are going to investigate permeable
pavements. Reflect back to the introduction video.
There was a technology called porous or permeable
pavement. How did this technology work?
 What does the word permeable mean?

Today you will have a cost restraint of $200. You may
not spend any of your green roof money; however, I
will give you a $200 allowance to test permeable
pavement. There is a catch, your pavement must
meet two criteria:
The pavement must absorb water.
2. The pavement must be smooth enough for people to use
for walking and driving.

 List your control (variables) factors and the
independent and dependent variables.
 Place the small foil tray into the large foil tray to catch
extra water…watch me! Test the pavements in the
small foil tray.
 Test the usability of the pavement by seeing whether a
wind-up toy can walk on their pavement in a straight
line.
 Spray the pavement with 20 squirts of water.
 Wait 20 seconds. Record how well the water soaks in.
 Be prepared to share your data with the whole class
after testing.
How can we, as environmental
engineers, use what we learned in our
investigation to keep polluted runoff
out of the river?

What do you think the impact would
be of changing the pavement to
permeable pavement?
