This project involves the installation of pervious pavers adjacent to the student union building at UNR in foot traffic areas. Also involved is the construction of a retention/infiltration basin to capture run-off from paved areas. The goal is to infiltrate the surface run-off which would otherwise quickly make its way to the Truckee River.
