CONT

Le concept de désimperméabilisation consiste, d'une part, à remplacer des surfaces imperméables par des surfaces plus perméables et, d'autre part, à déconnecter le rejet des eaux pluviales du réseau public. Son objectif est d'offrir une opportunité au développement d'aménagements plus perméables et respectueux de l'environnement, à des degrés d'échelle différents, de la planification urbaine au projet lui-même.
