INTRODUCTION OF SPRINKLER FOR CONTINUATION OF WATER RETENTIVENESS
Abstract
This report shows the study for the development of the efficient sprinkler system which contribute to the sustainability of water-retentive pavement. Water Retentive Pavement is one of the green engineering that is hoped to mitigate heat-island phenomenon. It is necessary for water retentiveness to keep showing the best performance, because it has shortage of water retentiveness, unless it rains. Therefore, the sprinkler system which is maximized its performance of water retentiveness at any time has been developed and it has started operating in June 2010.
