English term or phrase: pervious surface
Definition from Livable Communities Coalition:
A pervious surface is one that allows water to filter into the ground, which enables natural groundwater to recharge, helps with filtration of pollutants, and reduces erosion and flooding. The use of pervious asphalt and concrete for parking lots, roads and sidewalks is an important part stormwater management that conserves precious natural resources.

Example sentence(s):
  • In cold climates (like Minnesota) snow fall on an existing pervious parking area usually disappears on its own before snow on the adjacent, darker colored, impervious suface. Manual snow removal from this pervious surface has seldom been necessary. In the LEED
  • When rains fall on these pervious surface, it washes the accumulated road oil, grease, and rubber dust into storm drains, and from there directly into streams and rivers, untreated. Greatstreets
  • Clogging of any pervious surface can be a concern. It is highly unlikely a majority of any pervious surface will become 100% clogged. Water will always seek the next point of infiltration. Smokey Point Concrete

Doorlatend oppervlak


Definition from own experience or research:
Oppervlak (grond, verharde weg) dat regenwater doorlaat waardoor dit in de grond als grondwater kan worden opgenomen.

Example sentence(s):
  • Dit besluit bevat voorschriften voor het voorzien van hemelwaterputten, infiltratievoorzieningen, debuffering en de afvoer van hemelwater afkomstig van verharde oppervlakten. Men kan een verhard oppervlak laten afstromen naar een doorlatend verhard oppervlak, maar dan moet de grond zeer doorlatend zijn (> 200 mm/h) of onder de doorlatende verharding moet voldoende berging aanwezig zijn. De bovenafwerking en de ondergrond dienen voldoende doorlatend te zijn, zodat het regen­water niet te lang blijft staan. Het grondwater moet zich minstens 0,7 meter diep bevinden. - Provinciale Verordening  
  • Door de grote (initiële) doorlatendheid van de toplaag en de grote berging inonderlaag is het niet nodig deze over de gehele oppervlakte doorlatend uit te voeren.Alternatieven voor de toplaag liggen dan ook vooral in de combinatie van doorlatenden ondoorlatend uitvoeren - Dienst Stadswerk Almere
