title = "Using travertine as pervious pavements to control urban-flooding and storm water quality",
abstract = "Mineral rock of Travertine can be used as pervious pavement systems. Travertine is suitable for low traffic loads and has the capability of acting as the drainage system. Travertine, as a {\textquoteleft}spongy{\textquoteright} material, allows water to pass through surface and get into the underlying course and permeable sub-base where the water is stored and released slowly into the sub-grade. This paper studies the quantity and quality of infiltrated water indicating that Travertine can reduce the amount of runoff as well as pollution from runoff when water passes through the underlying course and sublayer material. The results are useful for designers to control surface runoff and provide a reference criterion for sustainable design in Travertine pavement via the comparison between total volumes of rainfall and real storage capacity in Travertine pavement.",
