The most common types of permeable pavement are, from left to right, porous asphalt, porous concrete, and porous interlocking pavement.

Most stormwater best management practices (stormwater control measures) have more than one variant. Factors affecting the type of practice include the design (e.g. with or without an underdrain, thickness of engineered media), the material (e.g. concrete or asphalt), and the function (e.g. infiltration vs. detention). Terminology, which includes bmp types, can also be confusing for specific bmps.
