Resumen

Urban development in the last decades has brought an increase of impervious areas and,consequently, an increase of the problems related to water management in cities. SustainableDrainage Techniques, also called BMPs or SUDS, have emerged in this context. Pervious pavementsare probably the most intensively researched of these techniques. Although pervious pavements havebeen extensively studied before, research on the use of recycled materials in these pavements islimited. This paper presents a study of 8 experimental parking bays with two types of perviouspavements constructed in the city of Gijón (Spain), using Basic Oxygen Furnace Slag (BOF-slag) as asub-base aggregate. The main objective of the research was to analyze water quality and thesuitability of BOF-slag for use in pervious pavements. Water quality parameters, rainfall andtemperature were measured during 14 months. With this data, the influences of BOF-slag sub-baseand surface type in water quality were analyzed. Also significant correlation levels between climaticfactors and pH, EC, TSS and turbidity were observed. In conclusion, high values for pH and EC werefound in infiltrated water, albeit with a downward trend; nevertheless, the outflow water could bereused in certain residential, industrial, recreational and agricultural uses.
