State-of-practice in Prevention of Water-born Pollution from Pavements

ABSTRACT This paper is the summary of responses to a questionnaire made by the project “COST 351—Water Movement in Road Pavements and Embankments”, which has the acronym WATMOVE. The questionnaire concerns the environmental aspects of water in road pavements and embankments, and was answered by 18 states—16 European countries and two states in the USA. Some states were represented by more than one respondent. The respondents give a very informative overview of state-of-practise when it comes to prevention and detection of water-born pollution from pavements and traffic. Most responses concern state level administration, but some local level practice is represented.
