Hydromedia

More than a product, Hydromedia is a water management system that rapidly absorbs rain water off streets, parking surfaces, driveways, and walkways – reducing the risk of flooding. This permeable solution combines the properties of concrete and advanced drainage technology. Water is the world’s most vital resource and requires proper management in order to reap its benefits while avoiding its adverse effects.
