| | *[[Permeable pavements]] can filter runoff through the surface pores or media between pavers, as well as through the bedding and base layers. Most of the [[sediment]] directed onto the pavements is trapped near the surface where it can be more easily accessed for cleaning. | | *[[Permeable pavements]] can filter runoff through the surface pores or media between pavers, as well as through the bedding and base layers.

| − | Clogging may occur when solid particles form a film on top of the filter or accumulate within the media channels to the point where the channels become occluded. Clogging can decrease the effectiveness of a filter. As the filter becomes [[clogging|clogged]], higher pressure is needed to drive stormwater through the filter, until a point is reached at which flow through the treatment system must be redirected to another flow path (usually a [[overflow|bypass]] within or upstream of the system). | + | Clogging may occur when solid particles form a film on the filter's surface or accumulate within the media channels to the point where the channels become occluded.
