This project report presents a new approach, with the application of the storm water drainage system made by making use of pervious concrete for recharging of the groundwater table. Pervious concrete is a new type of concrete with high porosity, which is usually used for flatwork applications to allow water to pass through it, and by that, it reduces the volume of direct water run-off from a site and increases the quality of storm water. Due to the high flow rate of water through pervious concrete, rainfall can be captured and percolate into the ground, recharging groundwater, supporting sustainable construction, reducing stormwater runoff, and providing a solution for construction that is sensitive to environmental concerns. This study examines the advantages of using such material to maximize stormwater, minimize flooding, improve water filtration, effective drainage during monsoon and improved efficiency of pavement in Indore by constructing a storm-water drainage system. One of the major reasons for the deterioration of roads is rainwater. During rainfall, part of water flows on the ground surface and part of it percolates through soil mass until it reaches the groundwater below the water table. Due to the percolation of water in the pavement moisture content of soil increases which reduces the bearing capacity of the soil. Thus, the stability of the highway is reduced. Therefore, in this project report, we have shown the complete hydraulic and hydrological analysis for the design of the stormwater drainage system and the advantages of using pervious concrete in it.
