Permeable pavers are brick-like materials that are manufactured in a variety of shapes. Pavers fit together like tiles and are set with small gaps between them, creating grooves for water to infiltrate the soil beneath. Permeable pavers reduce stormwater runoff volume and flow rate, and increase groundwater infiltration and recharge.

The pipes seen in this photo are called tiling. They help transfer excess water from the fields to the creek. Many areas of Old Woman Creek in the headwaters portion are very shallow streams surrounded by farm fields. This small creek area has a buffer around it and then is surrounded by fields. Ohio.
