The use of permeable surfaces, such as rooftop gardens, allows rainfall to infiltrate the ground immediately. This practice not only reduces stormwater runoff but also facilitates rainwater harvesting through underground conduits and tanks. By minimizing or eliminating contaminated runoff into natural waterways, these gardens contribute to cleaner and healthier water systems. This approach fosters sustainable urban development by harmonizing urbanization with nature, enabling cities to expand without compromising their ecological impact.
Integrating more green spaces into urban landscapes fosters a more balanced and sustainable urban environment.
