摘要

Water scarcity is the condition that happens due to rapid industrialization and urbanization with groundwater depletion. We need to adopt sustainable practices to check depleting groundwater levels. Technologies like pervious concrete can potentially help reduce water drain and evaporation. Using industrial waste materials in pervious concrete will enhance its functional properties as well as help in sustainability by solving the waste disposal problem and conserving useful natural resources. This research focuses on the incorporation of waste materials rubber, ceramic and charcoal in pervious concrete for improving water quality and sustaining groundwater recharge. The experiment shows the ability of the materials to clean the water. The charcoal cubes reduced the turbidity from 86 NTU to 18 NTU (80% reduction). Moreover, the ceramic cubes were able to reduce the BOD from 10.19 mg/L to 7.93 mg/L (22% reduction). Rubber cubes improved dissolved oxygen (DO) by 15%. DO rose from 6.8 mg/l to 7.7 mg/l. The porosity of standard pervious concrete was 0.22 cm/sec while that of ceramic was 0.33 cm/sec. Moreover, the runoff water was found fit for domestic use like irrigation and washing after charcoal and chemically treated rubber. After carrying out aggregate tests like compressive strength, porosity, turbidity, pH, hardness, BOD and DO tests it was found that these pervious concrete after integrating waste material improvised the water quality more than normal mix. The findings of this study suggest that pervious concrete integrated with waste materials can serve as a solution to water shortage.
