Waterpleinen worden op nationale en internationale schaal toegepast om wateroverlast te beperken door regenwater tijdelijk te bergen en langzaam af te voeren. Er zijn slechts enkele waterpleinen in binnen- en buitenland, waardoor de kennis van het (langetermijn-)functioneren nog beperkt is. Dit was reden …

Although permeable pavements have been used all over the world in recent years to infiltrate and treat stormwater, only limited research has been undertaken to investigate and compare the long-term performance of these sustainable urban drainage system devices. This paper presents the results of an extensive …
