What does “pervious” and “impervious” surface mean?
Pervious refers to the ability of a surface to absorb water. Conversely, impervious surfaces cannot absorb water. For example, the gutters on your home collect the rain water from your impervious roof. The downspouts from the gutters carry the water to a point in your pervious yard.
